Measles in Georgia

02 April 2013

The Public Health Department of the Republic of Georgia has reported an increase in measles cases in 2013, compared with 2012. Of the 403 measles cases reported thus far in 2013, 142 have been treated in hospital. Free measles vaccination is being offered to everyone under the age of 30 years.

Advice for Travellers

It should be confirmed that children have received their recommended doses of MMR at 12-15 months of age and again pre-school around 3 years 6 months, while unimmunised adults who have not had the disease themselves may consider vaccination if thought to be at risk. Two doses of MMR vaccine are required to give adequate protection.
