A preventable measles outbreak has led to 37 deaths in Europe

The World Health Organization announced last week that the number of measles cases in Europe jumped sharply during the first six months of 2018, with more than 41,000 cases reported. That’s more than in all 12-month periods so far this decade.

Here are some of the key details:

At least 37 people have died so far, WHO said. Seven countries in Europe have seen over 1,000 infections in children and adults this year, led by Ukraine, where ongoing civil unrest has made prevention difficult. France, Georgia, Greece, Italy, the Russian Federation, and Serbia have all reported over 1,000 cases of measles. Italy and Romania have introduced laws requiring parents to vaccinate children against measles and other diseases, which should lead to a decrease in infections, but health officials say countries need vaccination rates of at least 95% to prevent epidemics.

A news story just popped up on my FB feed about a new documented case of the measles in Houston. This tweet couldn't be more appropriate.
