00:00Forbillo in the United States, a thousand cases in Pennsylvania, is it possible?
00:06This is truly a mirror of the times we live in, let's say.
00:12We had a vaccine for which we talked about the possibility of eliminating,
00:18as had been done for smallpox, a disease
00:20and today this vaccine hesitancy is putting us back in front of a disease
00:26which is very fearful, because measles has a mortality rate of one in a thousand.
00:312017 was the first year in which there were fewer than 100,000 measles deaths in the
00:38world,
00:39so a virus that is certainly very contagious and certainly very dangerous.
00:45So this data coming from America, but unfortunately also the data coming from Italy,
00:50The data shows that we have already had several hundred cases in Italy
00:55and in the last two years we have had an even higher number of cases than what we are recording.
01:04Evidently we should be very concerned about this, and it should strengthen our efforts to provide information and training.
01:09to convince everyone to get and continue getting this vaccination
01:14even in the entire vaccination schedule that includes the booster.
