Measles in the 21st Century, a Continuing Preventable Risk to Travelers: Data From the GeoSentinel Global Network. Academic Article uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • Measles remains a risk for travelers, with 94 measles diagnoses reported to the GeoSentinel network from 2000 to 2014, two-thirds since 2010. Asia was the most common exposure region, then Africa and Europe. Efforts to reduce travel-associated measles should target all vaccine-eligible travelers, including catch-up vaccination of susceptible adults.
