Measles adult vaccination campaign - simplified fact sheet
Measles infections are rising in Victoria and around the world. This factsheet provides an overview of the statewide campaign, being led by Local Public Health Units, to increase the number of adults age 20-59 in Victoria who have received 2 doses of the measles mumps rubella (MMR) vaccine. State-funded MMR vaccinations are available through participating general practices, pharmacies, councils, Aboriginal Health Services and other vaccine providers. A Medicare card is not required.
Two doses of measles mumps rubella (MMR) vaccine are required for best, lifelong protection. Many adults, including those born in Australia between 1966 to 1994 and those born overseas, have likely only had one dose in childhood and may not be fully immunised against measles. The majority of measles infections in Victoria have been in adults, with people who travel overseas at increased risk of infection.
