Measles-stricken New Zealand girl visited Disneyland, other California destinations

[chittychitty]

LOS ANGELES: A teenage girl from New Zealand sick with measles visited Disneyland and other popular tourist stops across Southern California earlier this month, possibly infecting others, local government health officials warned.

The alert comes amid the worst outbreak of measles in the United States in a quarter century, with more than 1,200 cases reported across 30 states since October 2018, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Measles probably entering NZ 'on a daily basis'

A vaccinologist is calling for calm as a passenger arrives in New Zealand carrying measles.
Passengers flying from Los Angeles to Auckland a week ago may have come into contact with the infection.
But vaccine specialist Helen Petousis-Harris from the University of Auckland says the outbreak is already out of control, and that person with the highly infectious disease is unlikely to be the only one bringing it in.
"There's so much measles globally at the moment it's probably happening on a daily basis, and it's going to continue to happen."
The number of confirmed cases in Auckland has risen to 616. The disease was officially eradicated in New Zealand two years ago, meaning the only cases are the result of people bringing it in.

• Les Mills gym-goers warned after member with measles attends class
• Measles alert issued for flights to Auckland from Los Angeles and Wellington

Symptoms include a fever, runny nose, cough, sore red eyes and then a rash.
"There is some risk that other passengers may contract measles if they are not immune," Medical Officer of Health Dr Craig Thornley said on Friday.
"We would ask that anyone on this flight checks their medical records if they are under 50 years to see if they have had a least one MMR vaccination, or have had the measles previously, making them immune."
Those who fear they've been infected advised to get a booster shot.
"It's not worth doing a test," says Dr Petousis-Harris. " It's just easier to go and get a dose of vaccine."

• MMR vaccine eligibility widened as measles outbreak spreads
• Passengers flying from Melbourne to Christchurch exposed to measles
• Christchurch is running out of the measles vaccine

But don't just go to your GP - call Healthline or ring them ahead of time.
"If you feel unwell, please don't just turn up. It is important to call first, because measles is highly infectious and you could infect others in the waiting room," said Maria Poynter of the Auckland Regional Public Health Service.
The World Health Organization (WHO) recently named the anti-vaccination movement as one of the top 10 threats to global health.
More than 100,000 people died of measles in 2017, the WHO says, most of them pre-school children. Before a vaccine was available, millions used to die annually.

Officials say there is no evidence of community spread from these cases.

As of 22 July, 116 measles cases have been notified to MOH in 2019. 88 of these cases were local and 28 were imported from Bangladesh, Dubai, Malaysia, New Zealand, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. No deaths were reported in 2019 arising from the notified cases of measles.

Vaccination and vigilance key to measles prevention. Measles vaccination is compulsory by law for all children residing in Singapore as children are at high risk of developing complications. MOH would like to remind parents to ensure that their children’s measles vaccinations are up to date so as to protect themselves, maintain the high vaccination coverage and prevent community outbreaks locally. Adults are also recommended to be vaccinated against measles if they have not been previously vaccinated or lack evidence of immunity.

If they refuse to get vaccinated it's their own fucking fault. I hope they all die.

Measles are childhood diseases..it's better to infect children so they gain the immunity than prevent them from getting it and getting complications later at an older age
