Unicef allays fears on rise in measles cases

Measles cases are not expected to get out of control in India despite a spike in number of cases in some regions, chief of health at Unicef-India Luigi D'Aquino has said. India has reported more than 12,000 cases of measles so far this year - highest in four years. "“Areas with identified measles outbreaks should be reached with a comprehensive intervention consisting of MR vaccination and vitamin A supplementation," he said.
