Measles is really endangering children in Tirana. Although the Institute of Public Health does not declare it, there has been an outbreak of measles in a non-public kindergarten. Unvaccinated children have been infected with measles, transmitting it to each other. Parents who have children in that kindergarten have been notified by the kindergarten educators to keep their children at home, to avoid infection.
It is reported that measles has appeared in unvaccinated children, who, although it is a legal obligation that no child who has not fulfilled the mandatory vaccination schedule be admitted to these institutions, there are always nurseries, kindergartens and non-public schools that violate this obligation, becoming a source of transmission of infectious diseases, such as measles, which is considered deadly.
This outbreak of measles has now been isolated. Top Channel sources indicate that there are currently 15 cases of measles. But, at a time when health authorities declare that vaccination against measles, the MMR vaccine that is given at the age of 1, has declined due to the skepticism of parents and "novax" groups that promote non-vaccination, measles remains a risk that threatens the health of young children.
Vaccination coverage has dropped to about 83% with the first dose, while the WHO requires measles vaccination to be 95%. Sporadic measles cases are present in several European countries./ TCH
