Press\/LightRocket via Ge<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThe paradox of the pandemic is that while vaccines against Covid-19 were developed in record time and deployed in the largest vaccination campaign in history, routine immunization programs were badly disrupted, and millions of kids missed out on lifesaving vaccinations against deadly diseases like measles,\u201d said Dr Ghebreyesus.<\/p>\n<p>According to the WHO, India, Somalia and Yemen are the three countries with the largest measles outbreak.<\/p>\n<p>While measles is thought to be one of the most contagious viruses, the measles, mumps and rubella-containing vaccine administered during childhood is considered the best defence to reduce future outbreaks.<\/p>\n<p>In Australia, the shot is free for children between 12 to 18 months. People under the age of 20, refugees and humanitarian entrants may also be eligible for a catch up vaccine.<\/p>\n<p>The CDC states that nine out of 10 people who are not vaccinated against the disease will become infected in the advent of exposure.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/GettyImages-1245011995.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"A child is given a vaccine following a measles outbreak in India, on Nov. 23, 2022.\" class=\"wp-image-24775232\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/GettyImages-1245011995.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/GettyImages-1245011995.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/GettyImages-1245011995.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/GettyImages-1245011995.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>A child is given a vaccine following a measles outbreak in India, on Nov. 23, 2022.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AFP via Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The virus is transmitted through water droplets released in the sneezes and coughs of infected people.
