A measles outbreak is underway in Sweden, and the focus is on children and young people who attended the Urkult festival. Four years after the pandemic, the anti-vaccine movement is still alive – and researcher Mia-Marie Hammarlin is not surprised.
The peak of measles infection in Jämtland County may have been reached. This is what infectious disease doctor Annika Ersson believes. She emphasizes that the risk of infection is small. At the same time, questions about the measles vaccine are increasing.
