In pandemic, Americas also facing crisis in routine vaccines -health group

Vaccine-preventable diseases like measles, influenza, whooping cough, tetanus and other illnesses are all likely to increase if immunizations fall, PAHO Director Carissa Etienne said during the group’s weekly press conference.
