New York's Rockland County issued an unprecedented state of emergency Tuesday banning unvaccinated minors from public places after 153 cases of measles have been confirmed there so far. Much of the measles cases in New York have been concentrated among children of Orthodox Jewish families, many of whom attend religious schools where the vaccination rates are below 95 percent, which is the threshold considered necessary to maintain immunity among the community, known as herd immunity, according to Kaiser Health News.
A new bill in California, where seven cases of measles have been confirmed in 2019, would require every vaccination exemption for school-age children to be approved by the state Department of Health, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
