Comment on Orange County reports three more measles cases

The number of reported measles cases in Orange County since November rose to 20 on Friday, up by three since last week but still far less severe than the recent outbreaks of the highly contagious illness in ultra-Orthodox communities in Rockland County and Brooklyn. The virus has spread largely among unvaccinated children, since anyone who has gotten two doses of the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine is likely immune.
