Vaccine Law
Measles is an infectious viral disease that usually occurs among children. The most common symptoms associated with the disease are fever, cough and rash. More severe complications that may derive from measles are pneumonia, encephalitis and even death. Nowadays, it is possible to prevent measles due to the availability of a vaccine. In Italy measles vaccination became mandatory with the adoption of Decree Law No. 73 of 2017. The Italian Parliament enacted this law mainly to put an end to the decreasing trend in vaccinations against some infectious diseases, including measles. Consequently, the measles vaccination coverage increased by approximately seven percent between 2016 and 2018.
