Chickenpox epidemic in communities of London • "Don’t get vaccinated"

Chickenpox epidemic raging among Orthodox communities in the neighborhoods of Stamford Hill, and Golders Green.

This was reported by the Minister of Health last night.

Notification delivered from the Ministry of Health asked the tourists who come to London to get vaccinated against the disease.

According to the Ministry of Health in London, one should get vaccinated a month before the trip, adults born after 1957 do not need the vaccine because they are vaccinated, according to the Health Ministry.

In Stamford Hill about ten children have the disease. Medical officials in the Orthodox communities in London explained that many families do not believe in vaccines and do not vaccinate their children.

This fact is also reflected last year in the ultra-Orthodox neighborhoods in London, after a family who returned from Jerusalem contracted mumps which spread in haredi neighborhoods for months until the plague stopped.

"In Israel babies get vaccinated in Tipat Chalav, vaccinations in schools, everyone is vaccinated, here in London it's different, only those who want get vaccinated, there is nothing to stop the epidemic," said a medical activist in Stamford Hill, today.
