Waikato measles outbreak: six confirmed cases

The Team Reporter from Hamilton Press

Six cases of measles in the Waikato region have prompted the district health board to put out a warning.
People should catch up on their measles immunisations, medical officer of health, Dr Richard Hoskins said.
If you have been in contact with someone while they were infections with measles, you should stay at home for 14 days after the contact, or until your immunity from the disease is proven, the DHB said.
