Medical experts are raising concerns about the resurgence of measles and polio cases in emergency rooms across the country. The growing migrant crisis is believed to be a contributing factor, along with decreased confidence in vaccines. Some experts also attribute the rise in leprosy cases to increased immigration.
During the pandemic, public health efforts were diverted, leading to a neglect of other diseases. The increase in measles and polio cases can be partly attributed to the rise in immigration without proper checks. Additionally, the public's confidence in vaccines was shaken due to controversial vaccine mandates and mask mandates during the pandemic, creating apprehension about all vaccines, including those crucial for children's health.
