CHP investigates measles infection case epidemiologically linked to earlier case
An epidemiological investigation revealed that the baby girl has not yet reached the age to receive the first dose of measles vaccine. She had no travel history during the incubation period. The CHP believes that she acquired the infection from her family member who was recently confirmed to have measles infection. Her remaining five household contacts are currently asymptomatic and put under medical surveillance. Apart from the baby girl’s household contacts, no other close contacts were identified. Initial investigation revealed that no epidemiological linkages have been established between these two cases from the same family and other confirmed cases previously recorded in Hong Kong.
