flag A 16-month-old unvaccinated child has died from measles in Jerusalem, the third death in Israel since a growing outbreak began in 2025. flag The Health Ministry reports 3,000 to 4,000 infections and 24 hospitalizations, mostly unvaccinated children under six, including some in critical care. flag In response, authorities have authorized measles vaccines for infants as young as 6 months in outbreak areas, though these early doses are less effective and don’t count toward routine immunization. flag Vaccines are now available without appointments in high-risk towns like Beit Shemesh, Bnei Brak, and Jerusalem. flag Health officials urge people with symptoms to avoid crowds, especially before upcoming holidays, to limit further spread.
