A toddler suffering from measles has died in the German capital, health authorities said, amid the country's worst outbreak in years and a debate about vaccinations. The 18-month-old boy died on February 18, the first known fatality among more than 570 recorded measles cases since October in the German capital, a Berlin health department official told AFP on Monday. The resurgence of the preventable disease in Germany, as well as in parts of the United States, coincides with a movement among some parents to refuse to vaccinate their children. German national health officials said Monday there were no current plans to make measles vaccinations mandatory.
