Reacción a "Reactions: Spain detects first measles outbreaks since pandemic"

Without wishing to alarm anyone, the cases of measles detected in Spain, as well as those of other vaccine-preventable infectious diseases, are related to the anomalies in circulation and transmission of pathogens experienced during the pandemic. These effects, described in the literature, for example, for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), have to do with a greater - albeit temporary - vulnerability of certain populations to infection after having had little exposure during the pandemic years. The best protection in these cases is to reinforce vaccination schedules and coverage, at least for those infectious diseases for which vaccines are available.
