ATHENS http://www.intermilanfcsshop.com/c-48-dalbert-henrique-inter-milan-fc-jersey.aspx , Sept. 22 (Xinhua)-- Greece is facing a measles outbreak this year with 166 reported cases until September 21, the national Centre for the Control and Prevention of Diseases (KEELPNO) announced on Friday.
Most cases, according to the data provided, concern Roma children, and people aged 25-44, including healthcare professionals who were not properly immunized against the disease.
The spike in measles cases has raised concern, since the average rate in Greece has stood at about one infection per year for several years.
KEELPNO underlined that since 2016 more than 14,000 cases have been reported across Europe, including 43 deaths of complications.
Among possible complications caused by measles are pneumonia and encephalitis, while the disease is highly contagious, experts warned, urging for the vaccination of people at risk who have not been vaccinated or have been incompletely vaccinated.
The 90 percent of minors in Greece is vaccinated against the disease, Health Minister Andreas Xanthos told a press briefing, adding that the rate drops to 50 percent among Roma children.
In order to avoid a wider epidemic, the authorities have stepped up efforts to vaccinate minors in Roma camps.

U.S. Vice President Joe Biden announces he will not seek the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination during an appearance with his wife Jill (R) in Rose Garden of the White House in Washington October 21, 2015. U.S. Vice President Joe Biden announces he will not seek the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination during an appearance in Rose Garden of the White House in Washington October 21, 2015.
U.S. Vice President Joe Biden said on Wednesday he would not run for president in 2016, ending months of indecision and removing one of Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton's biggest potential obstacles to the party's nomination.
Biden, 72, appeared in the White House Rose Garden with his wife Jill and President Barack Obama to say the window for mounting a successful campaign had closed.
Biden's announcement ended a highly public "will he or won't he?" political guessing game about his intentions that had shadowed Clinton's campaign and frozen the support of some Democratic activists and donors.
"While I will not be a candidate, I will not be silent," Biden said. "I intend to speak out clearly and forcefully to influence as much as I can where we stand as a party and where we need to go as a nation."
Biden had been wrestling with doubts about whether he and his family were ready for a grueling campaign while still mourning his son Beau, who died of brain cancer in May. His son had urged him to run.
Making good on his promise to speak out, Biden took a veiled jab at Clinton, chiding Democrats who referred to Republicans as their enemies and saying Democrats would be making a "tragic mistake" if they walked away from Obama's record.
Clinton had listed Republicans among her enemies during last week's presidential debate and had broken with Obama by moving to the left on such issues as the Keystone XL pipeline and the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
"I dont think we should look at Republicans as our enemies. They are our opposition, theyre not our enemies," Biden said.
Speculation about a Biden candidacy had grown as Clinton slumped in polls and questions grew about her honesty and trustworthiness amid the controversy over her use of a private email server while secretary of state.
But what was widely hailed as a command performance by Clinton in the Oct. 13 Democratic debate turned the tide back in her favor and quieted talk that she was vulnerable in her quest for her party's nomination for the November 2016 election.
A Clinton spokesman said she called Biden after he announced his decision. In a statement, she called him "a good man and a great vice president" and said she was confident he would continue to be on the political front lines.
BOOST FOR CLINTON
Clinton's prime challenger now is U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont. A self-styled democratic socialist, Sanders has galvanized the party's left wing but has yet to prove he can broaden his appeal.
"It's an easier path for Hillary Clinton now," said Democratic strategist Bud Jackson. "Most polls reflect that without Biden in the race, it's more beneficial to her."
But Biden supporters did not appear to be falling in line behind Clinton after the announcement, with 15 of the 27 contacted by Reuters saying they were unsure they would back her.
Longtime Biden supporter Sara Riley, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, said she was now "100 percent" behind another Democratic contender, former Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley, although she will back Clinton if she is the nominee.
Democratic fundraiser Daniel Alpert, managing partner at Westwood Capital, a New York-based boutique investment bank, said he is now undecided between Clinton and Sanders. He wants more clarity on Clintons policies, and wants Sanders to prove that he can run a credible campaign in the general election.
Enthusiasm was muted even among the 12 Biden supporters interviewed by Reuters who said they would now support Clinton. Joseph Conaway, 78, the former mayor of Bridgeville, Delaware, and a friend of the Biden family, said he was planning on going to Iowa to work for Biden had he run..
