Consistent vaccination
On the occasion of the start of kindergarten on 1 September, the Bavarian Minister of Health Melanie Huml (CSU) has campaigned for a consistent vaccination, especially against measles. In the Free State, 151 measles cases have already been reported this year. In the same period last year, there were only 83. To the dpa news agency said Huml on Sunday: "Measles are a dangerous and highly contagious disease. Especially for small children who attend a day care center, adequate measles protection is extremely important. "

Adults should also be protective
In addition, people dealing with infants and babies should reduce the risk of infection from their own measles protection. The Federal Center for Health Education (BZgA) offers online a measles vaccination check, with which you can check your own measles vaccine protection ("https://www.heilpraxisnet.de/naturheilpraxis/masern-impfschutz-ueberpruefen-901853447217.php") can. Only a few days ago, the Standing Vaccination Commission had published new vaccination recommendations.
