On the telegram channels spreading pro-Russian rhetoric, one can find information that epidemics of measles, mumps, whooping cough and diphtheria allegedly will begin soon in the Kharkiv region, since children in Ukraine are not vaccinated at a sufficient level. In addition, propagandists note that outbreaks will arise due to the fact that imported medicines are not brought to Ukraine to replace Russian ones. In addition, they claim that Ukrainians have to pay about $1,000 for a full vaccination of a child in the first year of birth. It's fake.

Analysts of the VoxCheck project drew attention to it. They note that only six cases of measles infection have been recorded in Ukraine at the moment, among which there is not a single one in the Kharkiv region. In addition, even though measles vaccination statistics have indeed decreased, experts in the field of immunoprophylaxis attribute this to the fact that many families have gone abroad. Moreover, there is no need to pay for vaccination, since the state purchases vaccines. In addition, project analysts note that the Center for Public Health points to the well-established supply of necessary medicines from India, Canada, France and Bulgaria.

Propagandists are constantly trying to exaggerate the scale of the problems in Ukraine in order to show the inability of the Ukrainian authorities to cope with a number of crises. Thus, propagandists want to cause panic among Ukrainians and destabilize the situation. Like, the “Kyiv regime” thinks only about the war, and not about real problems. However, if there are minor problems with the above processes, they are the result of Russian aggression against Ukraine.
