The sad inevitability of measles outbreak in Ukraine
By Giovanna Barberis
27 July 2017


An outbreak of measles in Ukraine is rapidly spreading. This year there have been 1,000 cases; that?s 20 times higher than the whole of last year, with measles reported among children, adolescents and adults in 14 of the country?s 24 provinces.

Sadly, this latest outbreak doesn?t come as a surprise.

According to 2016 data from the World Health Organisation (WHO), Ukraine ranks last in terms of vaccination coverage in Europe. At the end of last year, fewer than 50 percent of one year olds had been vaccinated against measles.

The solution sounds easy; parents need to immunise their children against this deadly disease, it?s the only way to be protected. But in Ukraine, the problem is always more complicated.

Low levels of coverage are the result not only of parents? choice but of limited availability of vaccines over the past seven years. In addition, the myths about vaccination as being potentially harmful, and the lack of consultation among parents and health workers, meant that Ukraine?s coverage against measles dramatically dropped from 97 percent in 2007 to 42 percent in 2016...

Physicians say they addressed too late at the hospital when the infection got into the lungs and could not be treated. In total, more than a thousand people have suffered from this disease since the beginning of the year, of which 63 percent are children.
