Adults born in 1966 or later should consider vaccination for measles
As cases of measles have recently been confirmed in South East Queensland, it may be worth checking if you need the vaccine. Measles is a highly contagious viral illness. It is a serious disease with potential complications. Symptoms include a rash, fever and flu-like symptoms.
Who should think about being vaccinated?
• Adults born after 1965:
Most people born before 1966 are considered immune due to previous exposure to the wild measles virus.
• Individuals planning to travel overseas:
Measles is common in many countries and can be dangerous, especially if you're not fully vaccinated.
• Women planning to get pregnant:
Measles infection during pregnancy can lead to complications for both mother and baby.
• Anyone unsure about their vaccination status:
It's recommended to check your immunisation records and receive the vaccine if necessary
Free vaccination is available for adults born in 1966 or later. Please make an appointment to speak to your GP.
As part of the Heart Health Check, your doctor will ask you about your lifestyle, medical and family health history. They will also check your blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar levels.
