In May, the World Health Organisation reported that more than 12 thousand people had been infected with a highly contagious disease in Ukraine this year. Almost all of them needed hospital treatment. In October, the Ukrainian Health Ministry confirmed that the number of deaths had risen to 14 for 2018, while the number of cases of measles had jumped to over 32 thousand. The main cause is that the number of people being vaccinated against measles has dropped dramatically. From 95% in 2008 to 31% in 2016 - among the lowest in the world. _ Subscribe to UATV English: https://goo.gl/VHU7bk Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UATVEN Twitter: https://twitter.com/UATV_en Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/uatv.en Watch UATV live: http://eng.uatv.ua/ #News #Ukraine #UATV #Vaccination #Health #Measles #Disease #Ministry
