Le directeur de la santé publique du comté, le Dr Alan Melnick, a déclaré que le problème est en partie dû à la désinformation qui circule sur les médias sociaux, affirmant que les vaccinations peuvent amener les enfants à développer des troubles tels que l'autisme.
«Ce qui me tient éveillé la nuit, c'est finalement qu'un enfant décède de cette situation totalement évitable», a-t-il déclaré.
«Le vaccin contre la rougeole provoque toujours l'autisme, même s'il a été démystifié. C'est n'importe quoi. "
Les médecins ont confirmé que 31 des patients confirmés n'avaient pas été vaccinés contre la rougeole. The immunization status of four other infected persons is unknown.
Avant la vaccination, 400 à 500 personnes aux États-Unis sont décédées des suites de la rougeole chaque année, 50 000 ont été hospitalisées et 4 000 ont contracté un gonflement du cerveau pouvant entraîner la surdité suite à la maladie.
Le vaccin antirougeoleux fait partie des vaccinations systématiques chez les enfants américains depuis des décennies et la maladie a été déclarée éliminée dans le pays en 2000.
Cependant, la rougeole est encore répandue dans certaines régions d’Afrique et d’Asie et les personnes infectées à l’étranger peuvent ramener le virus et le transmettre. Environ 350 cas ont été identifiés aux États-Unis l'année dernière.
Les autorités ne savent toujours pas où la dernière épidémie américaine a commencé, bien que des patients aient pu être exposés à la maladie dans la région de Portland.

Le nombre de parents refusant de faire vacciner leurs enfants aux États-Unis reste faible, bien que des recherches montrent que le mouvement «anti-vaxxer» se développe.
Une étude gouvernementale a montré que le nombre d'enfants de moins de deux ans n'ayant reçu aucun vaccin a quadruplé depuis 2001, passant de 0,3% à 1,3%.
Researchers have identified communities across the US where the risk of infection from preventable childhood diseases is higher because parents are refusing to immunise their children.
