PRO/EDR> Measles update (20)

Measles -- Worldwide/Unknown
In a follow-up on the measles outbreak in Canterbury, New Zealand, health officials put the total cases at 30, not including one under investigation. Canterbury Medical Officer of Health Dr. Ramon Pink says measles numbers continue to increase in Canterbury. Dr. Pink says 27 000 doses of the MMR vaccine arrived in Canterbury last week. "We have enough vaccines to immunise those who need it most -- people aged between 12 months and 28 years who have never been immunised."
