However, although confirmed locally they refused to comment on the area where the rubella was detected. “However, we can confirm that all precautionary steps have been taken to alert anyone who may have been in contact with the individual.“GPs in the area have been asked for their support in maintaining increased surveillance, and also to encourage any non-vaccinated individuals born after 1978 to get the MMR vaccine. The vaccine is free of charge, and available from your GP.”
Rubella is a contagious disease caused by the rubella virus. Rubella is a notifiable disease, which means that medical practitioners must notify the HSE of suspected cases.
Anti Vaxer morons!
Open borders, everyone welcome no matter what viruses you take in with you. Only a matter of time before Coronavirus spreads like wildfire in Ire.
Irresponsible parents not vaccinating !!!
Thanks, anti-vaxxers. Gowls
F***ing anti-vaxxers, morons🤬
I don't have any immunity to rubella, I pretty much depend on herd immunity to not get it again
How nice to see so many xenophobes in one place. Thank God that you guys don't travel to other countries at all and that you cannot possibly be carriers of any diseases, because your ignorance shields you.
Isn’t rubella similar to flu 😷
This is what the anti-vaxxer loons are responsible for.
The joys of open borders
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if there were to be a vaccine against Rubella? Oh, there is, you say. I see.
I hope you are doorstepping anti-vaxxers like Gemtrails O'Braindead, aka gemmaod1, about her involvement in this.
Our New Ireland for all
