An outbreak of measles in the state of California has been linked to Disneyland theme park, where an individual, infectious with measles, visited the park between 17-20 December 2014.
The majority of cases have been located in California, however, the outbreak is expanding to include individuals who had not visited Disneyland and other states. A total of 51 confirmed cases has been reported. States affected include: California, Colorado, Utah and Washington.
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.
