BRUSSELS, May 4 (Reuters) - The European Union warned on
Monday that decisions by some European countries to suspend
vaccination of children during the coronavirus epidemic could
cause serious problems.
"It is very clear we will get pockets of people, children,
who have not been vaccinated," Andrea Ammon, director of the
European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), told
EU lawmakers.
She said most European countries were still providing some
of the essential vaccination to children against diseases like
measles and poliomyelitis, but also warned that some countries
have suspended all vaccinations during the epidemic. She did not
name those countries.
