Article Synopsis
- Measles, a severe infectious disease characterized by fever and rashes, has seen a resurgence in Armenia after being eliminated in 2021, with vaccine coverage declining during the COVID-19 pandemic contributing to the outbreak.
- Contributing factors include sociocultural issues like maternal education, healthcare access, vaccine hesitancy, and socioeconomic status, which influence immunization rates and disease spread.
- A collaborative effort from global health organizations and local authorities aims to manage the situation through public education, healthcare system strengthening, and addressing barriers to vaccination in Armenia.
