The New York City Department of Health said yeshivas in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, that do not comply will face violations and possible closure.
By Lindsey Bever Lindsey Bever General assignment reporter covering national and breaking news Email Bio Follow April 9 at 8:12 AM Orthodox Jewish schools in New York have been ordered to ban unvaccinated students, as measles cases in the city continue to climb “at an alarming rate” within the Orthodox community, health officials said.
"This outbreak is being fueled by a small group of anti-vaxxers in these neighborhoods. They have been spreading dangerous misinformation based on fake science,” Health Commissioner Oxiris Barbot, a pediatrician, said in the statement. “We stand with the majority of people in this community who have worked hard to protect their children and those at risk.
In 2000, officials announced that they had eradicated measles in the United States. Yet since then, there have been years when the number of cases has surged, notably in 2014, when 667 were reported — the highest annual total since the turn of the century. That year, the disease was reported at a rate of 1.83 cases per day. In 2019, however, the rate has increased to 4.84 cases a day. If that pace continues, this year could surpass 2014 by June.
