Yes, measles is an extremely contagious, dangerous infectious disease. 9 out of 10 unvaccinated people who have been in contact with an infected person can get sick.
In total, 240 cases of measles were registered in Ukraine in the first nine months of 2024, which is five times more than in the same period last year. Also, 113 cases of epidemic mumps and 10 cases of rubella were recorded in January-September this year
However, the MMR vaccine coverage rate for 8 months with the first dose of children aged 1 year was 60.6%, and the second dose at the age of 6 was 56.3%. This is not enough to build herd immunity.
Vaccination is the most effective way to protect yourself and your children from vaccine-preventable infectious diseases. All vaccines in Ukraine meet international standards. I appeal to parents: protect your children's health by vaccinating them according to the vaccination schedule
