Anyone who resists could be fined up to $1,000. Those who can’t afford the vaccinations will be given them for free
New York City on Tuesday declared a public health emergency and ordered mandatory measles vaccinations amid an outbreak, becoming the latest national flashpoint over refusals to inoculate against dangerous diseases.
“This is the epicenter of a measles outbreak that is very, very troubling and must be dealt with immediately,” de Blasio. Some Orthodox Jews have resisted vaccines. City health officials said Monday that yeshivas in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, that do not comply will face fines and possible closure. “We’re making clear that unvaccinated students will not be allowed in schools or day cares,” de Blasio said.
