April 29, 2026
The pediatric community is worried about the resurgence of measles and whooping cough due to a relaxation in vaccination efforts. Michalis Anastasiadis, President of the Pediatric Society of Cyprus, warns that vulnerable groups, such as infants and the elderly, are at risk. Recent statistics show a concerning increase in cases across Europe, particularly among infants and teenagers. The importance of vaccination is emphasized, along with the need for awareness in protecting against infectious diseases. Vulnerable populations should have equal access to vaccination to prevent the re-emergence of diseases.
