According to the current state of knowledge, there is a child who is currently sick with measles in an inn in Kirchberg in the Tyrolean district of Kitzbühel during the infectious period.

As the state reports Tyrol, the child was in Kirchberg on 10 February between 11.30 am and 2 pm in the “Gasthaus Z’röhrmoos”. People who also stayed there during this period are called to check their vaccination status and those of their family members for two measles vaccinations (to be recognized in the vaccination pass as an MMRVAXPRO or Priorix) and, if necessary, to be as quickly as possible.

Vaccination as the most effective protection against measles infection
A measles disease is subject to reporting. Infection with measles viruses can lead to serious diseases. Babies, pregnant women and people with a weakened immune system are in particular the risk. The most effective protection for yourself, but also for others, is a start of the 9th month of Life-TWE measles-mump-rod vaccination, the so-called MMR vaccination.

After two vaccinations, a disease is almost impossible. The vaccination can be made at any time.

Vaccination for free
The vaccination is free for general practitioners and specialists for pediatrics and in the health authorities of the district administration.
