An outbreak of measles has been reported in the city of Quiculungo, Kwanza Norte province in the northwest of the country. Between January and March 2014, around 66 measles cases were recorded; the majority of cases are children under 5 years-of-age. A vaccination campaign has been conducted in an attempt to contain the outbreak.
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.
