The number of deaths caused by measles in Bangladesh has reached 1,030. This increase in mortality follows the death of 8 more children. In previous years, Bangladesh was recognized as a country with herd immunity against measles, but in recent years, this immunity has significantly declined due to reduced vaccination coverage.

Consequences of Reduced Vaccination
The decline in vaccination coverage has not only led to an increase in disease cases but has also put pressure on the public health system. Health professionals have warned about the risks associated with this decline and have called for urgent programs to increase vaccination rates and educate parents on this issue. Additionally, this situation could have negative impacts on the economy and society of Bangladesh.
