In Autumn 2017 the measles epidemic in Europe has been a major threat. Since 2016, 14,000 cases have been reported, mostly in Romania and Italy, and 42 people have died in these two years, almost all in Romania.
The media have caught up with such fear that people in a panic are cancelling their planned trips to Europe, and those who are not – hasten to vaccinate their children even before the age of 12 months, despite the fact that the safety of this vaccination has not been established for infants under one year of age. Moreover, it is known that vaccination up to one year is ineffective, so it is not considered as a routine vaccination at all, and it is necessary to get vaccinated again after reaching the age of 12 months.
