Two unvaccinated brothers from the Kiryat region contracted measles. Since September, 2 patients from the Haifa District and 6 from the Northern District, 10 patients from Tel Aviv, one case from the Netanya area, and another case from Jerusalem area have also been reported.
Meanwhile, the vaccine-preventable disease is resurgent in parts of Europe. A third of the cases were diagnosed in Kazakhstan, where the outbreak is attributed mainly to children who missed routine vaccinations. Small outbreaks have also recently emerged in multiple parts of the United States.
