In Europe, an increasing number of people are infected with measles (measles), which has been almost eradicated in developed countries. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), four countries in the UK, Greece, Czech Republic and Albania were revoked for the first time this summer. In the background of the spread of infection, parents tend to refuse child vaccination.
These four countries have been excluded from exclusion in August due to the infection situation in the past year, and this is the first time since the start of the certification process in 2012. Of the 53 European countries, 35 are certified as excluded countries, and Japan and the United States are also certified.
In Europe from January to June this year, about 90,000 infections were confirmed, exceeding the number of infections in the last year, about 84,000, and 37 people died. Compared to about 5,000 in 2016, it has already increased 17 times, and has increased rapidly in recent years. WHO is thought to be associated with lower vaccination rates.
Although the Netherlands is still recognized as an excluded country, the vaccination rate dropped to 94% in 16 years and dropped to 93% in 2017. In 1996, it was over 95%, which was necessary for exclusion, and it remained at a high level until 2015.
What is skeptical about vaccination is the “side reaction” associated with vaccination. Although it is said that the possibility of becoming a serious situation such as convulsions and acute encephalitis is extremely low, it is said that there are some inquiries about “insufficient information disclosure”.
