Last Wednesday, a woman participated in two weddings in the Mondial Hall in the Givat Shmuel neighborhood of Jerusalem. It was discovered retroactively that the woman was infected with the measles and thereby possibly infected everyone else at the weddings.
According to the Health Ministry, the woman was at the first wedding from 6:45 p.m. until 11:15 p.m. and at the second wedding in between those times from 9:30 p.m. until 9:45 p.m.
Everyone who attended those weddings is being asked to head to their regional medical office to get vaccinated and an anti-infection medication.
The Health Ministry has also warned anyone who was present at the Kever of the Rashbi on April 3rd between the hours of 12:00 and 2:30 p.m. to head to their regional medical office to get the treatment.
A third warning went out with regards to a person infected with the Measles from Tiveria (Tiberias) who visited the Rabbi Amram Ben Diyun Synagogue in the city during those hours on Thursday and Friday the 4th and 5th of April between 6:30 and 7:30 p.m.
Anyone born after 1957 who visited one of those sites during the specified hours, and has not yet received both vaccinations against the measles is requested to head to the local Health Ministry office to receive the vaccinations.

Givat Shmuel neighborhood of Jerusalem where’s that?
I don’t understand. Why are there people without the vaccine, and why haven’t they been infected and infected others until now?
