These people come from their countries not vaccinated and move from province to province. Measles has not been a problem in SA for a very long time.

People get yourselves and your kids vaccinated. Do not take chances. I am just wondering why the campaign to vaccinate high school girls against German measles is not being done any more? I remember when I was at school the health dept came to schools to do this. I have not seen this on any vaccination schedule in SA. If it is not happening we could have lots of babies being born blind or deaf. German measles is so bad.
