New York City cited 84 people for refusing to vaccinate as the city's ongoing measles outbreak worsens.The ongoing outbreak in New York City is driving up the total measles cases nationwide.
The NYC Health Department last month issued a state of emergency and ordered residents of Brooklyn's Williamsburg neighborhood to get the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine. The city hasn't fined anyone yet, but it's summoned 84 people to appear in court for failing to comply with the order. They face up to $2,000 in fines if they fail to show, the city said.
"This is the time to act," Deputy Commissioner Dr. Demetre Daskalakis said in a statement. "Measles is a highly contagious disease."
