Chicken Pox Outbreak in Brooklyn

New York City Department of Health is warning parents about a chicken pox outbreak in Brooklyn.
75 people have been infected since March in Williamsburg.

Of those who have come down with the virus 72% had not been vaccinated. Another 14% had received only the first shot.

"The recent outbreak has officials once again urging parents to get their kids vaccinated, but in Williamsburg and across the globe, whether or not to vaccinate has been an ongoing debate.

For students entering New York City public or private schools, the Department of Health requires vaccination. However, there are religious exemptions. But many in Williamsburg said religion would not be a factor in the outbreak, and that it’s more about a personal choice."
