Shocking. #Serbia has the highest rate of #measles in Europe bbc.co.uk/news/health-45… Sadly, though perhaps unsurprisingly, conspiracy theorising and media sensationalism over vaccination seems to be to blame wfsj.org/v2/2018/02/07/… pic.twitter.com/R7HDLy4o67

This is Laine and her brave Mum Cecily.
Laine died from SSPE, a complication of #measles, 23 years ago today.
I've had the pleasure of meeting Cecily and she's an amazing person.

The total number of #measles cases in the European Region for the first 6 months of 2018 far exceeds the 12-month totals reported for every year this decade. #immunizeEurope pic.twitter.com/jeqDQvMNsw

CDC monitoring #measles #outbreak in 21 states. A mentor & brilliant scientist, Bill Bellini @CDCgov, told me that is so infectious that it will find an unvaccinated person across the globe. He was right. Get your kids #VaccinesWork before somebody dies. whnt.com/2018/08/15/cdc…

Really disturbed to read that the #measles is a particular problem this year. I was very young when I had it but can still remember how ill I felt. The doctor told my mum I was lucky to get away without lasting damage. Really sorry for anyone not so lucky. #TuesdayThoughts

#Measles is one of the leading causes of death among young children globally even though a safe and cost-effective vaccine is available.
#VaccinesWork, we can stop measles!

In 2016 the Vaccine Confidence Project found Europe was the world's most sceptical region on #vaccinesafety.

2017: 23,927

Oh man we need some kind of easy to administer cure for #measles, perhaps one we can give to small children and build herd immunity with. Shame those vaccines are all satanic lies, according to people with no medical knowledge

#Measles is one of the most infectious diseases of man. It is the first disease to appear when community immunity falls; typically due to break downs in public health systems. US outbreaks are the outcome of a lack of trust between the public, doctors, and health officials.

#Measles is one of the most contagious diseases ever known.
When people do not get 2 doses of the vaccine against measles, the disease spreads quickly.
When enough people get immunized, everyone in the community is protected.

I had #measles, #mumps, and #chickenpox. My God people get the kids vaccinated. No one should have to endure all of these. You are not being fair to your children. If you had had any of these you would be smart enough to take action. DO IT NOW

80% of young people who contracted #Measles last year were unvaccinated. College or uni is a great place to catch measles, if you missed your #MMR as a child #GetVaccinated before starting college or uni in the next few weeks ecdc.europa.eu/en/news-events…

My late father's eyesight was severely compromised by a bout of measles as a child. Three were no vaccines back then. #opticneuritis Now there is.
Just take wee Jimmy for the jab, eh? #Measles twitter.com/StephenMcGann/…
