00:01A bustling emergency department, the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, the latest exposure site
00:07listed for the highly infectious measles virus. A sick person seeking treatment there testing
00:12positive after spending more than 24 hours in the ED across last Wednesday and Thursday.
00:19Unfortunately she was there in an open space for a longer period of time.
00:24And it's cause for concern for experts.
00:26EDs are the places where the most vulnerable people are. You've got babies who can't get
00:31vaccinated yet. You've got elderly people with impaired immune systems. You get very sick people.
00:37All those people are the ones who would get the most severe illness if they got infected with measles.
00:42The adult is a member of the Brighton Secondary School community where four students have tested
00:47positive to measles after one of the teens contracted the virus overseas. A pop-up vaccination hub opened
00:53at Brighton on Friday administered doses to 24 people, with contact tracing continuing to find
00:59those who might have been exposed at the school, in the hospital or at dozens of other newly listed sites.
01:06While national measles vaccination rates in children have dipped slightly since 2020,
01:11it's not just the young that need to be immunised. Adults born prior to 1966 are considered immune,
01:17as it's likely they contracted measles as a child. But those born between then and the late 1980s may have
01:24only received one of the two required doses of the vaccine and may not be fully protected.
01:30Our problem at the moment is adults. Most of the people who get infected in Australia are actually not children,
01:35they're adults.
01:36We want to have that measles elimination status and make it safe for everybody.
01:40South Australia has now recorded nine cases of measles, the highest since 2016.
01:47North Australia is generally in Australia –
