Travelling to Southeast Asia soon? There is currently an outbreak of measles in Indonesia.

Protect yourself and your family against measles by getting vaccinated before you travel. If you’re travelling to a high-risk area with a baby aged 6 to 18 months old, talk to your GP about whether you can get their free measles vaccines earlier than scheduled.

The measles vaccine is also free in NSW for anyone born during or after 1966 who hasn't already had two doses. Talk with your GP or pharmacist today to get protected! Please note they may charge a small fee to give the vaccine.
