LIVE IN BROOKLYN
WITH MORE.
LISA.
>>Reporter:
MAURICE, WE ARE
OUTSIDE ON WILSON
AVENUE WHERE LAST
MONTH THE CITY SAID
MORE THAN 20 PEOPLE
WERE INFECTED WITH
THE MEASLES.
TODAY WITH SPOKE
WITH TWO LEADERS IN
THE ORTHODOX
COMMUNITY WHO SAYS
SCHOOLS WILL COMPLY
WITH THE MAYOR'S
ORDERS.
>> PEOPLE NEED TO
REACT IMMEDIATELY.
>> MAYOR DE BLASIO
SAYING THERE'S AN
URGENT NEED FOR
PEOPLE LIVING IN
BROOKLYN --
FAMILIES CAN GET
THE SHOT FOR FREE
BY CALLING 311.
IT ALLOWS
VACCINATED CHILDREN
--
>> WE ARE STILL
SEEING THE NUMBER
OF CASES RISE.
>> OF THE 285 CASES
IN NEW YORK CITY,
246 ARE IN
CHILDREN.
>> NEARLY ALL OF
THEM HAVE BEEN
ASSOCIATED WITH THE
ORTHODOX JEWISH
COMMUNITY.
>> THREE WEEKS AGO,
THE UNITED JEWISH
ORGANIZATIONS OF
WILLIAMSBURG AND
NORTHERN BROOKLYN
POSTED PHOTOS OF
LEADERS MEETING
WITH CITY'S HEALTH
COMMISSIONER.
RABBI NEEDER MAN IS
THE PRESIDENT AND
SAYS SCHOOLS WILL
OBEY THE MAYOR'S
ORDERS.
>> YOU HAVE TO TAKE
EVERY PREVENTIVE
MEASURE THAT YOU,
YOURSELF, TO GUIDE
YOUR HELP AND
ESPECIALLY THAT
COULD AFFECT
OTHERS.
>> HE SAYS IN THE
WILLIAMSBURG
COMMUNITY, THERE'S
AROUND 100 FAMILIES
AGAINST THE
VACCINE.
THIS MOTHER ADMITS
HER CHILDREN HAD
MEASLES AND SAYS
THEY'RE FINE.
>> PREVENTIVE
MEASURES ARE NOT A
REASON TO INJECT
TOXINS INTO MY
CHILD'S BODY.
>> GOD CREATED A
PERFECT DESIGN AND
MY KIDS ARE PERFECT
AND BEAUTIFUL AND
HEALTHY.
>> UNDECIDED
PARENTS ARE GETTING
VACCINATED.
>> WE HAVE A BIG
UPTICK, AND
VACCINATIONS OVER
THE PREVIOUS YEAR.
>> THERE'S HOPE THE
MAYOR'S MESSAGE
WORKS.
>> THEY SHOULD SEND
HOME THE KIDS OR
CLOSE DOWN THE
SCHOOLS BECAUSE WE
DON'T WANT THAT TO
SPREAD AROUND.
>> OTHERS ARE
DOUBTFUL, LIKE
FORMER STUDENT
MOLSTER WHO HAS
BEEN CRITICAL OF
YOUR SHEBA GIVING
KIDS AN EDUCATION
--
>> 1,000 FOR A
SCHOOL IS NOT
ENOUGH.
AND I ALSO WORRY
THAT WHEN IT COMES
TO IT, I DON'T KNOW
IF THE CITY WILL
ACTUALLY HOLD THEM
TO IT.
>> THERE'S ALSO
BEEN A MEASLES
OUTBREAK IN ROCKLIN
COUNTY.
SO WE ASKED THE
MAYOR IF HE'S
WORKING WITH THAT
COUNTY TO PREVENT
CROSS CONTAMINATION
BETWEEN
COMMUNITIES.
HE SAYS HE WILL
TALK TO COUNTY AND
STATE LEADERS, BUT
HIS FOCUS IS ON
GETTI
