The female student in her 20s is the 35th case of measles in the state since Christmas and spent time at the North Ryde campus while infectious on Wednesday April 3 and Thursday April 4.Virginia Star
Students were told to watch for symptoms until April 24. The first symptoms of measles are fever, a runny nose, sore runny eyes and a cough, followed a few days later by a rash that usually starts on the face.NSW Health director of communicable disease Dr Vicky Sheppeard said: “We cannot stress enough the need for holidaymakers to be vaccinated before travelling to south-east Asia because the majority of cases we are seeing are being brought home.
“If you’re not sure if you have had two doses of measles vaccine which provides lifelong protection in 99 out of 100 people, it is safe to get another jab, particularly if you’re heading overseas."
Kaubo This makes me mad! Didn’t we practicality eradicate measles in the world? Or am I wrong?
Kaubo You'd think as a law student she'd know what a 'duty of care' was. Non-vaccinated people who put others at serious risk should face stiff consequences.
Kaubo owenthedork you dead?
Kaubo The result of stupidity over non vacination. Wait for a wave of Polio to hit then see the results.
