The largest number of cases have been recorded in Pristina on 19 occasions, followed by Ferizaj with 12, Fushe Kosova with 9 and Kacanik with 8 cases. Lipjan has recorded three cases, while Vushtrria, Enhance and Obiliki have two cases. One case has been reported, Gjilan, Drenas, Decani, Skenderaj, Shtrpca and Vitita.

In view of the high efficiency of measles, the risk of spreading it to the community, and the complications producing measles, IKPK calls on parents and stewards to verify the status of vaccination of their children and provide vaccines according to the regular communication calendar at family medical centres. The vaccine remains the most effective and safer measure for the prevention of measles, the protection of unaccompanied individuals and the preservation of public health”, says IKSCK on Facebook./ Periscope.
