Rospotrebnadzor links the increase in the incidence of measles to the “traditional period of cyclicality”

The increase in the incidence of measles in Russia is associated with a “traditional period of cyclicity,” Rospotrebnadzor said. Citizens of the Russian Federation who are not vaccinated against measles are sick, as well as migrants, who account for 10% of all detected cases. Rospotrebnadzor does not see the risks of an epidemic spread of measles.

“In Russia, since the end of 2022, an increase in the incidence of measles has been recorded. The increase in the incidence is associated with the traditional measles period of cyclicity, due to the gradual accumulation of non-immune population,” the press service of Rospotrebnadzor said. TASS.

Head of Rospotrebnadzor Anna Popova earlier in April informedthat cases of the disease were registered in 44 regions. According to her, although the epidemiological situation is becoming more complicated, local foci of the disease can be “stopped very quickly”.
