Abstract

A cluster of six confirmed cases with identical measles virus genotype was reported in Denmark between December 2008 and January 2009. Transmission occurred among unvaccinated children aged 15-23 months admitted to the same hospital as a 36-month-old unvaccinated girl diagnosed with measles following travel. The findings highlight the importance of vaccination before travelling and adherence to the routine vaccination schedule.
