NEW YORK - A measles outbreak in Brooklyn, primarily among Orthodox Jewish children, prompted New York City on Tuesday to declare a public health emergency, requiring unvaccinated people in the affected areas to get the vaccine or face fines
The measles virus is highly contagious and can lead to serious complications and death. While there have been no confirmed deaths so far, 21 people have been hospitalized, with five admitted to intensive care, officials said. All but 39 of the confirmed cases are in children. The Brooklyn outbreak has been traced to an unvaccinated child who became infected on a visit to Israel, which is also grappling with an outbreak, according to New York City’s Department of Health.
It is the first time New York City has ordered mandatory vaccinations in recent history, according to health officials. “You get phony, phony articles and studies, so yes, some people will fall for that,” he said. “They will do anything and everything to improve the health of their children.” That order was overturned by a state judge on Friday, local media reported. The order is being appealed by Rockland officials.
