New York City’s Board of Health is issuing civil summonses for three parents who didn’t comply with the mandatory measles vaccination order. The continuing order for vaccinations applies to children ages 6 months and older with fines for non-compliance. City officials announced an emergency vaccination order for four ZIP codes in Brooklyn last week to stem the measles outbreak. A lawsuit challenging the order mandating measles vaccinations in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, was dismissed by a state Supreme Court judge on Thursday. New York City, as of Monday, has confirmed 329 cases of measles since the outbreak began in October.
