Unvaccinated european tourist puts kids' lives in danger in Brasil by causing a Measles outbreak
Unvaccinated people should not be issued passports.
Coutries like Brasil should deny entry to anybody who is unvaccinated against diseases such as Measles which puts children's lives in danger. Date: Wed 17 Jan 2007 From: Jaime Torres Source: EPTV (Brazil) [trans. Mod.JGM, edited] http://eptv.globo.com/noticias/noticias_interna.asp?162289 Brazil: Measles outbreak in Bahia State --------------------------------------------- Four additional measles cases may have been confirmed in Bahia State, all of them in Filadelfia city. There are now 47 sick people in that state. The Health Secretariat has said that there is a measles epidemic ongoing and has recommended tourists to have their immunization one week before traveling. Last Saturday [20 Jan 2007], a regional vaccination campaign was started. The main target population are male subjects between 12 and 39 years old, since most children and women have already been taken care of. In Salvador, the state capital city, vaccination posts have been established in regional bus stations, in the airport, and in the port. Results of studies performed by FIOCruz Laboratory indicate that the virus may have come from Canada, Europe, or Africa. ProMED-mail [The index case became sick on 23 Oct 2006, lab specimens were collected on 18 Nov 2006 and positive confirmation was made. It was reported by ProMED-PORT, our Portuguese language list, on 23 Nov 2006. Since then the outbreak has been slowly spreading in spite of mass vaccination designed to stop it. There are many unvaccinated children in Brazil, and the index case may have contracted it from a foreign tourist. |
