Vaccination is required to keep Measles at bay. 1994 marked the beginning of the children vaccination program, said Kate Fowlie at the Centers for Disease Control.

91.1 per cent of children aged 19-35 months were nationally covered by the MMR vaccine. However, vaccine coverage rates may vary considerably at the country or lower level, she added.

This deadly disease is highly contagious and can be fatal especially for babies and young children as can lead to pneumonia, brain damage, deafness and death.

According to the Rockland outbursts, health officials say people born before 1957 are also at-risk despite being fully vaccinated.

The public outbreak can prove to be a costly affair to contain. According to a previous study, 2013 measles outbreak that hit Orthodox Jewish communities in Williamsburg and Borough Park, cost the city approximately $400,000.
