Measles outbreak in Vogtlandkreis: sick children were not vaccinated. Twelve children between the ages of one and 13 from two families were affected.
The outbreak is apparently due to imported cases, as the MDR reports. According to current legislation, children who attend kindergartens, after-school care centers or schools must provide proof of vaccination against measles. Anyone who has ever had measles is immune, according to the Saxony Professional Association of Pediatricians and Adolescents.
