A baby girl under one year old in Fukuoka City has been diagnosed with measles, likely after being in the same building as an infected individual. She is receiving treatment and recovering. As measles vaccination is not administered until age one, the city urges parents of infants to avoid crowded places and to schedule vaccinations promptly upon reaching eligibility. Eight measles cases have been reported in the prefecture this year, five of which were in August. Source: NHK
