Israel army offers measles jabs after soldier contracts disease

Israel’s occupation army contacted hundreds of soldiers who serve in the army’s Kirya headquarters in Tel Aviv over fears that they may have been infected by the measles virus, Israeli media reported yesterday.

This came after a servicewoman in the military base was diagnosed with having measles.

“After the soldier’s diagnosis was confirmed today, the Military Health Department and the Kirya clinic are contacting all the soldiers who came into contact with the sick person to ascertain their vaccination status and ensure completion of vaccination as necessary,” the Israeli army said.

According to the Times of Israel, the Israeli army “has been taking special care to vaccinate soldiers who may not have properly completed their vaccinations as children.”
