THE ANTHONY MUNDINE ANTI-VAX MESSAGE COMES WHEN ONE 85E PERSON IS DIAGNOSTIC OF THE MOLD THIS YEAR
A student from Macquarie University has become the 35th case of measles in NSW since Christmas, with health authorities warning people that they should be vaccinated before traveling.
The woman in her twenties was unconsciously contagious at various locations in Sydney, Maitland and Wyong from Wednesday, April 3 to Sunday, April 7.
"We can not stress enough the need for vacationers to be vaccinated before traveling to Southeast Asia," said Vicky Sheppeard, NSW Health's director of communicable diseases, in a statement.
"The majority of the cases we see are brought home."
NSW Health says the student at the university, however, contracted the measles infection at NSW.
Dr. Sheppeard said that people who had visited the same places at the same time should remain vigilant until April 23.
Symptoms of measles include fever, sore eyes, coughing for three or four days, followed by a red and uneven rash that extends from head to body.
The young woman visited F45 Haymarket Wednesday morning and Macquarie University later in the afternoon and the next day.
She flew Friday morning from Maitland Central Station aboard the XPT service, where she visited the Lavenders Riverside Cafe and the Hunter Valley Grammar School.
Later that day, she took the Wyong train back to Sydney.
She went to the Sydney Harbor Bridge Climb office between 4:45 and 9:30 am Saturday and Sunday, she went to the emergency department at Maitland Hospital.
People who were in the emergency room at the same time are contacted.
This is the 85th case of measles in Australia this year. The nation recorded 103 cases in 2018 and 81 in 2017.
Those who do not know if they received two doses of measles vaccine can consult it in the Australian Immunization Register, which contains the 1996 data.
Vaccination is free of anyone born after 1965.
"It's prudent to get a new vaccine, especially if you're going abroad," said Dr. Sheppeard.
