The Institute for Public Health and the National Academy of Medicine report that since 2008, more than 20 000 measles cases have been recorded, with 14 500 of these cases being reported during the period January to June 2011, compared with 5000 (2 deaths) during the whole of 2010.
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.
