Measles update - Northern Beaches
If you or your child have symptoms please call ahead before arriving at South Steyne Medical Centre.
There has been an increase in measles cases reported in Sydney.
Measles is a highly contagious viral illness that spreads through coughing and sneezing.
Symptoms may include fever, cough, sore eyes, and a red blotchy rash.
You may wish to speak with a GP if:
• You’re unsure about your measles (MMR) vaccination status
• You’ve been exposed to someone with measles
• You’re planning travel
• You or your child develop symptoms
If you are unwell or have a rash, please call the clinic before attending so appropriate precautions can be taken.
If you’d like personalised advice, a GP can review your vaccination history and discuss next steps. If you are planning on travelling overseas or have returned from overseas and have any concerns then doctors at the Manly Travel Medicine Clinic can assist you.
