| There is a significant increase in diagnosed measles cases within Australia and New Zealand, as well as worldwide.
Measles is a highly contagous disease and may result in severe health complications including meningitis and death.
Measles is a preventable disease.
A Victorian Government funded measles-containing vaccine program is available for all adults born during or since 1966 and aged from 20 years without evidence of two documented doses of valid MMR vaccine or without serological evidence of immunity.
It is noted that some adults may be not immune or only partially immune to measles, mumps and rubella because they were not captured in the Australian Measles Control Campaign in the late 1990s and the subsequent Young Adults MMR program in 2001.
If you need to be vaccinated for measles, or are uncertain that you do, please make an appointment to discuss here
