Serbia: Outbreak of measles

Health officials in Serbia have reported an outbreak of measles. According to Serbia’s Institute for Public Health (computer translated), since Oct. 2017, 1,227 measles cases have been reported through January 19th due to the growing anti-vaccine movement. Epidemiologists warn that the measles may take more children's lives if the number of vaccinated children does not increase.
