Never thought I'd see such warning again nor the need for it. It would seem the ignorant masses are really taking over. Middle Ages believes to come back? "UK health authority tells holidaymakers to get vaccinated to go to Europe The agency warns that cases of measles are on the rise. Public Health England has teamed up with the travel industry to warn holidaymakers to ensure they are vaccinated against measles before the summer break. The agency says measles remains endemic in many EU countries, including popular holiday destinations like France, which has among the highest rates of infection, along with Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria and Germany, as reported by the European Centre for Disease Control and Prevention. France has the lowest level of trust in vaccines globally; a third of people disagree that vaccines are safe." www.politico.eu/article/uk-health-authority-tells-holidaymakers-to-get-vaccinated-to-go-to-europe/
