Measles Outbreak: 48 cases of measles diagnosed in Israel

Health Ministry: 5 unvaccinated kids hospitalized in intensive care after contracting measles

The Health Ministry says five unvaccinated children have been hospitalized in intensive care after contracting measles amid a growing outbreak.

The ministry says eleven children are hospitalized, three of the children remain in critical care units.

Health officials have decided to conduct a widespread vaccination campaign for both children and adults in areas with low coverage, the ministry says.

The Health Ministry reported Thursday morning that 48 measles cases have been diagnosed across Israel, with the source of infection for some patients still unknown.

A particularly alarming statistic shows that 77% of those infected had not been vaccinated at all. Of the total cases, 40 are children under the age of 18 (83%) — none of whom were fully vaccinated.

The Ministry urges all citizens to verify their vaccination status and update it according to national guidelines. Children under age six should complete their immunizations through Tipat Chalav, while those over age seven may receive vaccinations at designated centers.

People born before 1957 are considered naturally immune and do not require vaccination. The Ministry also recommends confirming vaccination status prior to any international travel.
