So far this year, 44 cases of measles have been recorded in Tyrol. There are currently ten people who are definitely or very likely ill. There was a sick person in the Innsbruck shopping center.
According to the state of Tyrol, the majority of the 44 cases of measles in Tyrol are already healthy and no longer contagious. There are concrete suspected cases of illness in ten people. The country also announced that a person was at the DEZ shopping center between 12:30 PM and 3:30 PM on Monday without being aware of the disease.
Anyone who was there at the time is advised to check their vaccination status for two vaccinations against measles. A vaccination should therefore be carried out and the health condition monitored, it is said. “People who have been vaccinated twice and people who have already had measles are considered immune.”
The state of Tyrol recommends vaccination
Anyone who gets measles must report it. “Infection with measles viruses can lead to serious illnesses. Infants, pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems are particularly at risk,” the country said. The most effective protection for yourself, but also for others, is an early – from the age of nine months – two vaccinations against measles, mumps and rubella, the so-called MMR vaccination. Vaccines are available free of charge from general practitioners, paediatricians and district health authorities.
