HEALTH authorities are urging residents across the Barwon South West region to check their measles vaccination status as cases continue to rise across the state.<\/p>\n

The warning comes after measles exposure sites were identified along the Great Ocean Road in February, including in Lorne, Wye River and Apollo Bay.<\/p>\n

Public health officials say concern is growing as both imported measles cases and local transmission are being reported, including among people who have not travelled overseas.<\/p>\n

The Barwon South West Public Health Unit (BSWPHU) has launched a targeted measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccination campaign, offering free catch-up vaccines at participating pharmacies across the region.<\/p>\n

People who have not received two doses of the measles vaccine remain at risk of infection, with the risk particularly high for people travelling internationally who are not immune.<\/p>\n

Adults aged 20\u201359 who were born in Australia, as well as adults born overseas, may be under-vaccinated and at greater risk, as past childhood immunisation schedules in Australia and some other countries did not always include the recommended two doses of the MMR vaccine.<\/p>\n

BSWPHU public health physician Dr Akhtar Hussain said the campaign aimed the prevent the further spread of a disease that had previously been eliminated in Australia.<\/p>\n

“Measles is a highly contagious viral disease that causes fever, cough, sore and red eyes and rash,” Dr Hussain said.<\/p>\n

“Although rare, it can lead to potentially life-threatening serious illness and complications such as pneumonia and brain inflammation.<\/p>\n

“Vaccination is the most effective way to protect yourself and your community. It not only prevents us from becoming unwell but also reduces the risk of spreading measles to others.”<\/p>\n

The public health unit is partnering with the Victorian Department of Health and other local public health units across the state to provide free catch-up MMR vaccinations at participating pharmacies throughout the Barwon South West region.<\/p>\n

Dr Hussain said the initiative was designed to make vaccination easier to access.<\/p>\n

“This initiative improves access to vaccination across the Barwon South West region and community can now have access to MMR vaccine closer to their home or workplace,” Dr Hussain said.<\/p>\n

The vaccine is free for everyone, and a Medicare card is not required.<\/p>\n

One local resident who experienced measles firsthand as a child has joined the vaccination push.<\/p>\n

Thomson local Shane Gray, now 61, was about five or six years of age when he caught measles.<\/p>\n

“Back then nobody got vaccinated for measles and I remember breaking out in little spots and feeling as crook as a dog,” he said.<\/p>\n

He believes measles weakened his immune system, making him more susceptible to other illnesses that quickly followed.<\/p>\n

“Once I caught measles, over a short time I then caught chicken pox, mumps, gastro and the flu making me seriously unwell for a long period of time,” Gray said.<\/p>\n

“The risk of measles is not worth it. You’re playing with your life if you’re not fully vaccinated.<\/p>\n

“A simple jab will erase the risks for your children, yourself and your workmates.”<\/p>\n
