          Recent Outbreak in Brooklyn and Queens

          As of May 6, 2019, there have been 466 confirmed cases of measles in Brooklyn and Queens since September. Most of these cases have involved members of the Orthodox Jewish community.
          Vaccination Requirement in Brooklyn

          On April 9, the Health Commissioner ordered every adult and child who lives, works or resides in the following ZIP codes and has not received the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine to be vaccinated:
          • 11205
          • 11206
          • 11211
          • 11249

          On April 17, the Board of Health voted unanimously to adopt a resolution supporting the Commissioner's order and the vaccination requirement.
          As of May 6, 22,833 doses of the MMR vaccine have been administered to people who are under 19 years old in Williamsburg and Borough Park since October.
          People who demonstrate they are immune from measles or have a medical condition that prevents them from receiving the vaccine will not need to get vaccinated.
          If the Health Department identifies a person with measles or an unvaccinated child exposed to measles in one of the above ZIP codes, that individual or their parent or guardian could be fined $1,000.
          You can get vaccinated at a Federally Qualified Health Center in Brooklyn (PDF), or at our immunization clinic in Fort Greene...
