"Last week, the WHO issued another warning about an “alarming” 45-fold increase in measles cases in Europe, and the UK’s Health Security Agency declared a “national incident” over the spread of the disease.
Australia was declared free of measles by the WHO in 2014 due to a lack of ongoing transmission, but Australia has not been immune from the global trend of falling rates of vaccination.
And since re-opening its borders after COVID-19 lockdowns, Australia has begun to receive a trickle of measles cases from overseas."
