Thanks for making this a sticky

Please remember this disease is AIRBORNE it isn't caught through touch like gastic problems, this is caught in the same way as a cold or flu.

It cannot be stressed enough how dangerous this disease can be if caught as an adult, anyone with poor overall health and early pregnancy.

Anyone with any concerns should see their doctor as soon as possible before travelling.

Details of what this disease is and what it is capable of can be found here...

Measles can be fatal or lead to continuing disability, so prevention is much the best option, as no cure yet exists.
