Addressing the measles outbreak
in Italy has become essential, especially among healthcare
workers.
Over the past year, 100 doctors and nurses have been infected
with measles.
The head of the Italian Society of Infectious and Tropical
Diseases (SIMIT), Massimo Galli said that "it is absolutely
unacceptable that someone working in the healthcare sector does
not protect themselves and, as a result, does not protect their
patients".
In 83 of the 100 cases recorded, the healthcare workers had
never been vaccinated.
