From January to September 2023 in Russia It revealed 8073 cases of measles, which is 288 times, or 28,732%, more than in the same period last year
These are the figures published by "Bear's Vestige" Based on data from Rospotrebnadzor, these figures are record-breaking since at least 2015: they are double the previous record set in 2019—approximately 4,000 cases in nine months.
Doctors attribute the sharp rise in measles cases to disruptions in vaccine supplies that began in the spring of 2023, as well as increased anti-vaxxer activity and an influx of migrants.
