The vaccination rate in several regions in Slovakia has dropped below the 95-percent level. These so-called vaccination holes can serve as an entrance for the return of diseases that have not been reported in Slovakia over a longer period, according to experts. The lower vaccination rate reported by the regions concerns measles, mumps and rubella, the data of the Public Health Authority (ÚVZ) suggests. The most critical situation is in the Bratislava and Trenčín Regions, especially for children born between 2011 and 2015.
