The HSE have issued an alert to anyone who travelled on a bus from Dublin Airport to Tipperary last week.
A case of measles has been identified in a passenger who was on JJ Kavanagh bus number 717 from Dublin Airport to Clonmel departing at 4pm last Saturday, August 17.
The HSE has said that said that “for any passenger on this bus journey who is a pregnant woman, immunocompromised, or under the age of 12-months-old, please immediately contact your GP or hospital clinician for advice. This is because immediate treatment may be beneficial”, the Irish Independent reports.
The advice is that “if you have these symptoms, stay at home in a separate room, and seek healthcare advice. Phone ahead prior to attending any healthcare setting to let them know that you have these symptoms, and were exposed to measles, so they can make necessary arrangements." “The best way to protect yourself and those around you against measles is with two MMR vaccinations. This can be arranged with your GP.”
