A sharp increase in the incidence of measles in the region was associated with the refusal of local residents from routine vaccination. The data is distributed by the local Rospotrebnadzor.
The head of the Rospotrebnadzor department in Dagestan, Zalimkhan Omariyev, informed that on April 20, 188 people were infected with measles in the region. According RIA Novostithey have never been vaccinated before.
“Today I would describe the epidemiological situation of measles in the republic as tense, but controlled,” Omariyev concluded.
The speaker said he did not see the main problem in the increase in incidence, but in the refusal of patients to contact the issue of vaccinations in the past. Vaccination minimizes the risk of contracting measles.
If a person with measles passes through the elevator car, they will be dangerous for about an hour. The fact is that it is a highly contagious disease, the regional chief previously reported.
