Two infants with measles probably acquired the infection in Sydney, health authorities say.
NSW Health on Tuesday issued its 15th measles warning for the year after two babies too young to be vaccinated became infected in mid-March. An eight-month-old likely contracted the disease in the Haymarket area and was infectious while visiting a Strathfield Korean restaurant on March 26, a Hurstville cafe on March 27 and St George hospital emergency department on March 30.
The other baby, aged 11 months, likely caught the disease in Eastwood before visiting shopping centres in Eastwood, Castle Hill and Kellyville in the last week of March.Health authorities are reporting a global resurgence in measles cases.The health department says maintaining high rates of measles immunisation within the community reduces the risk of measles being imported by travellers and then spread locally.
Parents of un-vaccinated kids should be jailed
This is the danger of listening to moronic celebrity chefs like Pete Evans and wacky anti-vaxxers instead of medical experts. You put other kids in danger when you don't vaccinate your kids. Should be a criminal offence.
