In 2025, we saw measles in 1025 figures. All of them were children under the age of 1, they were all vaccinated. We followed our hospitals and followed them during the isolation process and discharged with healing. When we examined a large number of cases in 2023-2024, we saw this; 98 percent of these cases have never been vaccinated individuals, 1.5 percent of the part of the part of a single dose of grafted, 0.5 percent of the part was 2 doses of vaccine, 20-30 years have passed since. At the appropriate time, we did not see a 2 doses of vaccine added to the registration system at appropriate intervals. We do not expect any threats about measles in Istanbul at the moment.

Currently, all our family physicians reach their families when the time comes to the vaccine calendar of children registered to them, inviting them to family health centers and vaccinations. The sensitivity of our family physicians in this regard is the sensitivity of our family physicians. We can encounter vaccine -resistant families, we want our family physicians to go on this issue. If we fail to persuade our family physicians, we visit these families with our social workers, psychologists and physicians working in our District Health Directorates.

We need to provide the following information about infectious diseases and our citizens should know. Measles, whooping pertussis, chickenpox, these cases, diseases, we do not only follow when we see. We have monitoring methods that we call active and passive surveys.
