57 children hospitalized after contracting chicken pox.

57 páiste curtha in ospidéal tar éis do dheilgneach teacht orthu.

There has been a significant increase this year in the number of children who had to be hospitalized after contracting chicken pox, according to the Health Service Executive.

Tá ardú suntasach i mbliana ar an líon páistí a mb'éigean a gcur in ospidéal tar éis do dheilgneach teacht orthu, de réir Fheidhmeannacht na Seirbhíse Sláinte.

57 young people have been hospitalized so far this year.

57 duine óg a cuireadh in ospidéal go dtí seo i mbliana.

Three-quarters of them were under the age of fifteen, and half were four years or younger.

Daoine faoi bhun cúig bliana déag ab ea trí cheathrú acu, agus ceithre bliana nó níos óige a bhí a leath acu.

It is a significant difference from the same period last year, when fifteen people were hospitalized after contracting chicken pox.

Is suntasach an difríocht é ón tréimhse chéanna anuraidh, tráth a cuireadh cúig dhuine dhéag in ospidéal tar éis do dheilgneach teacht orthu.

An average of 34 people were hospitalized in the same period between the years 2012 and 2019.

34 duine ar an meán a cuireadh in ospidéal sa tréimhse chéanna idir na blianta 2012 and 2019.

In a statement, the HSE said that the number of cases of infectious diseases - including chicken pox - has increased since the lifting of Covid-19 restrictions.

I ráiteas, dúirt FSS go bhfuil an líon cásanna de ghalair thógálacha ardaithe – deilgneach ina measc – ó cuireadh deireadh le srianta covid 19.

Normally, it was said, the number of cases of these diseases is lower in the summer but the situation has changed since the pandemic.

Go hiondúil, a dúradh, bíonn an líon cásanna de na galair seo níos ísle sa samhradh ach tá cor sa scéal ó bhí an phaindéim ann.

The spread of infectious diseases has changed since then and the number of cases may still be relatively high until the end of the year, it was said.

Tá claochlú tagtha ar ghréasáin scaipthe galar tógálach ó shin agus d'fhéadfadh sé go mbeadh an líon cásanna réasúnta ard go ceann scaithimh fós, a dúradh.

The Health Information and Quality Authority has carried out a public consultation process regarding the routine provision of the measles vaccine for children.

Tá próiseas comhairliúcháin phoiblí curtha sa siúl ag an Údarás um Fhaisnéis agus Cáilíocht Sláinte maidir leis an vacsaín in aghaidh na deilgní a chur ar fáil de réir gnáthaimh do leanaí.
