Measles resurgence 'due to vaccine hesitancy', WHO warns

Measles resurgence 'due to vaccine hesitancy', WHO warns There has been a worldwide resurgence of measles, with many countries experiencing "severe and protracted" outbreaks last year, a report warns.

The World Health Organization data shows a rise in cases in almost every region of the world, with 30% more cases in 2017 than 2016. Experts say complacency, collapsing health systems and a rise in fake news about the vaccine are behind the rise. BBC News - Health
