Measles -- New Zealand
Canterbury Public Health officials are urging the community to get vaccinated after a 3rd case of measles is confirmed in Canterbury.
An 18-year-old woman is the 3rd case in a fortnight to be diagnosed with the highly contagious virus.
The woman visited Christchurch hospital's emergency department on Sat [10 Feb] and Sun [11 Feb] so anyone who was in the waiting room at the weekend is urged to contact their GP's for vaccination.
