Victoria sounds alert for World Cup measles
01-Sep-2010
In Victoria (Australia), two soccer fans who returned from South Africa’s World Cup with measles have prompted a state-wide request to GPs and hospitals to watch for secondary cases.



Advice to travellers: Measles and other childhood diseases are common in both developing and developed countries. Measles is highly contagious and outbreaks have been widespread this year across Africa, as well as in other parts of the world. Regardless of their destination, we recommend all travellers check their immunisation status for measles, diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough), mumps and polio as part of their pre-travel medical preparations.
