Measles 'red alert' in Italy says WHO

(ANSA) - Rome, July 20 - There is a measles "red alert" in Italy and it is becoming the worst country for the disease in the EU, World Health Organisation assistant director Flavia Bustreo said Wednesday. She said a new government decree making 10 vaccinations compulsory for school admission "will not be enough" to improve the situation. The vaccination decree, which envisages booking vaccines in pharmacies, is set to be passed later today.
