Chief Health Officer Alert – New measles cases in Victoria

Two new measles cases have been reported in Victoria, with two exposure sites identified in the Gippsland region.

If you visited one of the listed exposure sites during the specified dates and times, please monitor for symptoms and follow the advice provided.

View the most up-to-date exposure sites here: https://www.health.vic.gov.au/health-alerts/measles-public-exposure-sites-victoria

Symptoms of measles can include:
• Fever
• Cough or runny nose
• Sore or red eyes
• A red rash (usually appears a few days later)

There is an ongoing risk of measles.

If you’re aged 20 to 59, you may have only received one dose of the measles vaccine as a child, and two doses are needed for full protection. Not sure how many measles vaccines you’ve had, it’s safe to get the free Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) vaccination.

Free measles vaccinations are available across Gippsland through Council immunisation clinics and participating local pharmacies. Book here: https://lrh.com.au/gippsland-region-public-health-unit/free-measles-vaccines/

You should also consider getting your MMR vaccination if you've recently returned from overseas or interstate travel.

If you’re planning to travel, make sure your routine vaccinations are up to date, including the MMR vaccine. Vaccination is recommended at least two weeks before departure.
