Rockland County Executive Ed Day says more than 500 immunizations have been administered since he announced the ban on Tuesday.
A New York county's ban on unvaccinated minors in public is working, an official told CNBC on Friday.
The county, located in the northern suburbs of New York City, is one of six locations in the U.S. experiencing a measles outbreak, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. There have been 157 reported cases in Rockland County since October 2018. "We believe we are on the right path right now to get at least 93 percent immunization rate with the first shot," Day said.
The vaccine used for measles, called MMR, also protects against mumps and rubella and is administered in two doses. The CDC recommends the first be given at 12 through 15 months of age and the second at 4 through 6 years of age. The combination is 97 percent effective at preventing the disease, while one dose is about 93 percent effective, the CDC's website states.
