As Israel contends with one of its most severe outbreaks of measles in decades, a Bar-Ilan University researcher says that the legacy of the COVID-19 pandemic has diminished public trust in childhood vaccines, leading to the current outbreak.

Those findings, published in a recent study, come as 11 children, most of them unvaccinated, have died of measles in Israel since May. As of late October, according to the Health Ministry, there were 1,644 reported cases of infections and 577 hospitalizations.
