Unvaccinated French boy suspected of reintroducing measles to Costa Rica while on holiday with his family
The boy was reportedly on a holiday with his family and shortly after a private doctor was asked to examine the unidentified boy's 'rash,' his parents were 'placed in isolation'.
An unvaccinated five-year-old French schoolboy is suspected of reintroducing measles to Costa Rica, nearly five years after the country eradicated the disease, according to reports. The boy was reportedly on a holiday with his family when he came to the Central American nation earlier this month and stayed in hotels in Santa Teresa and San Jose.
However, shortly after a private doctor was asked to examine the unidentified boy's "rash," his parents, aged 30 and 35 were "placed in isolation" in Puntarenas Hospital. The boy's mother, who is also not vaccinated, revealed that other children in her son's school had previously contracted the infection, the Daily Mail reported.
