NEW YORK (Reuters) – A Brooklyn judge on Thursday (April 28th) rejected an application to overturn a recent mandatory measles immunization order issued by New York City.
The judge sided with the municipal health authorities who made the order last week, saying it was a rare but necessary step to contain the most severe measles epidemic in the city since 1991.
So far, the outbreak has infected at least 329 people, most of whom are children from orthodox Jewish communities in the Brooklyn Borough.
