Two more measles cases identified in WA, bringing the total to 12, with a new exposure site in Bunbury

Two more measles cases have been identified in WA, bringing the State’s total to 12 with another exposure site listed in Bunbury. WA Health said the two cases are not linked to the larger outbreak of 10 cases involving Hakea Prison, Bunbury Regional Prison and Bunbury Regional Hospital. Several new exposure sites have been listed on the WA Health website, including one location in the South West — the paediatric ward at the Bunbury Regional Hospital from March 26 to March 28. Anyone who attended these exposure locations during the dates and times listed is urged to monitor for measles symptoms which include fever, fatigue, cough, runny nose and sore eyes, followed by a red, non-itchy rash three or four days later. Measles can potentially lead to serious health complications such as pneumonia and brain inflammation, but two doses of the measles vaccine are highly effective in preventing infection. The vaccine is free in WA for anyone born during or after 1966 who hasn’t already had two doses. Anyone concerned they have measles should seek medical care and call ahead to their GP or emergency department. They can also contact healthdirect on 1800 022 222.
