The number of children infected with measles reaches 17.
The health authorities are alarmed and demand that the Ministry of Education intervene as students have been admitted to schools without presenting the vaccination certificate.
While the law on infectious diseases stipulates that no unvaccinated child can attend kindergartens, nurseries or schools.
Not vaccinating against measles puts children at risk from rubella, and pregnant women are also at risk if they get measles.
Measles has currently been confirmed in Tirana and Durrës, but the capital is at greater risk as the number of unvaccinated people has increased.
Health experts call to vaccinate children as the disease is contagious, even deadly, which has alarmed other countries in Europe.
