Yeshiva schools must exclude unvaccinated amid measles surge
The New York City Health Department has ordered all ultra-Orthodox Jewish schools in a neighborhood of Brooklyn to exclude unvaccinated students from classes during the current measles outbreak.
In issuing the order Monday, the health department said that any yeshiva in Williamsburg that does not comply will face fines and possible closure.
City health officials say the measles outbreak among Orthodox Jewish communities continues to increase "at an alarming rate."
