Thun, Bern, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) – The Swiss Army may have bought 12,000 doses of anti-measles vaccine, with Switzerland continuing to have one of Europe’s highest rates of measles, but it did not prevent seven soldiers in the officers’ programme from being quarantined for the highly contagious disease. Some have come down with measles and the others are considered contagious.
