		</div><p>Seventeen people have died from measles in Romania in an outbreak affecting thousands, the country&#8217;s health minister said on Friday.</p>
<p>Florian Bodog said that around 3,400 people had contracted the disease since September 2016.</p>
<p>He said the virus was similar to strains found in Hungary or Italy, but could not confirm if it was the same one.</p>
<p>Romania has lowered the age for administering the first vaccine dose from the usual 12 months to nine months, recommending all children under nine are vaccinated.</p>
<p>The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control warned this week that <i>&#8220;the likelihood of exportation of measles (from Romania) cases is high&#8221;.</i></p>
<p>Most cases have been registered in the west and south-west of Romania.</p>
<p>In neighbouring Hungary there are 31 suspected cases of measles, said Beatrix Oroszi, head of the National Centre for Epidemiology.</p>
