The total number of measles cases in Mongolia has increased to 13,532, the country's National Center for Communicable Diseases (NCCD) said Wednesday.
Meanwhile, the total number of recoveries has reached 13,514. Currently, seven people remained in hospital, the NCCD said in a statement.
The majority of new measles infections were among school-age children who had only one shot of the measles vaccine, it said.
In view of this, the NCCD advised parents to protect their children from a potentially severe disease by getting them two doses of the measles vaccine.
Measles is a highly contagious viral disease transmitted by respiratory droplets and direct contact.
Common complications include fever, dry cough, runny nose, sore throat and inflamed eyes. The disease can be prevented by immunization.
