The battle to contain America's worst measles epidemic in 27 years has a new front: the summer camp.
Vaccinations have become mandatory this summer for campers and staff in several northern New York City counties that fill each year with children from the Orthodox Jewish community hardest hit by measles.
Ulster County has imposed measles vaccine or evidence of immunity in all day camps and overnight camps, becoming the last county in the region to impose vaccination requirements. Rockland County has announced a similar order this month, following the mandates of Sullivan and Orange counties.
