An outbreak of measles has been reported from the territory of Kongolo, Kantanga province in the south of the country. Six children have died as a result and a further 230 cases of measles have been reported in children under the age of 3 years. No information on the immunisation status of children in the area is available in this report.
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.
