So far this year, 44 cases of measles have been recorded in Tyrol. There are currently ten people who are definitely or very likely to be ill. A sick person was in the Innsbruck shopping center.
According to the state of Tyrol, the majority of the 44 measles cases 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 in the DEZ shopping center between 12:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. on Monday without knowing about the illness. Anyone who was there at that time is advised to check their vaccination status for two measles vaccinations . A vaccination should therefore be carried out and the state of health should be monitored, it is said. “People who have been vaccinated twice and people who have already had measles are considered immune.” The state of Tyrol advises vaccination. Anyone who contracts measles must report it. “An 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 measles-mumps-rubella vaccinations, the so-called MMR vaccination. Vaccines are available free of charge from family doctors, pediatric specialists and district health authorities.
