New York City declared a public health emergency Tuesday over a measles outbreak and ordered mandatory vaccinations in one neighbourhood for people who may have been exposed to the virus.

Mayor Bill de Blasio announced the unusual order amid what he said was a measles "crisis" in Brooklyn's Williamsburg section, where more than 250 people, mostly members of an ultra-Orthodox Jewish religious community, have gotten measles since September.

The declaration requires all unvaccinated people who may have been exposed to the virus to get the vaccine, including children over 6 months old. Earlier this week, the city ordered religious schools and day care programs serving that community to exclude unvaccinated students or risk being closed down.
