A spokesman for the Samarian Jewish community of Itamar has rejected reports that residents refuse to be vaccinated despite the outbreak of measles in the area. The spokesman issued a statment that said, "Most of the residents of the settlement of Itamar are vaccinated on a regular basis and until now, according to our knowledge, a case of measles has been discovered only in one family where a half-year-old infant, who was not vaccinated (vaccination is at the age of one year), was infected and infected her mother who was unaware that she was not vaccinated when she was a child."
The statement continued, "It is possible that the district doctor is concerned about cases that were discovered in the communities near Itamar and that they are connected to the municipality, but a short tour would have made him see his mistake if he had chosen to act as expected from him and reach the area he is responsible for and not deal with these outbursts and others using a keyboard."
