A European Commission
spokeswoman said Monday "we are very concerned that three of the
seven countries with the highest incidence of measles cases in
Europe are EU countries".
According to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and
Control, the three countries are Italy, France and Greece.
"The low immunisation of one country puts at risk the safety
and health of citizens all over Europe," the spokeswoman said.
"Vaccination is an act of solidarity," she said.
The Italian government has made once-compulsory
school-entrance vaccinations voluntary.
