Fear mongering suggests possible measles outbreak after a very low uptake in vaccinations




Media outlets across the country are spreading fear as to what the possibilities could be if people don’t start vaccinated their kids in higher volumes.

Many feel however that the likes of measles and controversial HPV vaccine are extremely dangerous to receive with irreversible side affects.

The low uptake of vaccinations in some areas of the country is prompting fears of the resurgence of contagious diseases like measles.

Statistics show that as much as 25% of children across certain areas are not receiving their regular vaccinations. Such a high percentage is a red line for the World Health Organization (WHO).

Health authorities are now warning that widespread lack of immunization may lead to virulent outbreaks of disease in the near future.

Medical officials are blaming campaigns of misinformation about the efficiency or potential side effects of vaccines, coupled with scaremongering by people with vested interests for the dramatic fall in vaccinations.
