An outbreak of measles has been reported from Xerale, Galguduud region in central Somalia. Thirty suspected cases and one death have been recorded thus far.
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.
