The recent measles outbreak has been linked to the anti-vaccination community, which picked up an alarming following in recent months.
Many have directed lambaste at the anti-vaccination movement and its prime conspirators for creating an environment of distrust towards clinically approved methods in countering diseases.
In 2017, World Health Organization announced Maldives had successfully eradicated the pandemic becoming one out of the two countries to achieve this in Asian region.
However, recent reports have confirmed a compact community within Maldivian population have been advocating against vaccinating children and promoting parent consent for vaccination.
Many anti-vaccination sympathizers have justified their actions stating vaccination causes autism and similar 'diseases.'
Recent measles cases involve a 3 year old child whose parents held anti-vaccination ideals.
