"It is unacceptable that children are dying from measles , a disease that
can be easily prevented by an effective, safe and inexpensive vaccine," said
Dr Omi. "The children who die from measles are generally the most
disadvantaged children in the Region ."
Because measles is one of the most infectious viruses, practically every
child needs to be immunized with two doses of measles vaccine to stop its
spread. In so doing, other health
interventions can also be delivered to the community, including other life-
saving vaccines.

discovery confirms that New Guinea is one of the frontiers of palm research. While large
areas of primary forest still exist there, the rapidly expanding activities of

Background Information on Measles

What is measles?
-- Measles is caused by a virus (Paromyxovirus family).
-- Infection with the vaccine virus generates life-long immunity without
causing the illness or complications of natural measles.

Measles vaccine efficacy
-- A single dose of vaccine, given in ideal conditions, protects about
85% of children if given at the age of 9 months; about 90% at the age
of 12 months."

Conservation International as a high priority.
-- Symptoms usually start 10-12 days after infection.

Spread of measles
-- Measles only affects humans.
-- Before immunization began in 1963, about 99% of children would get
measles in childhood.
-- A 2003 estimate was of about 30 000 deaths and one million cases per
year in the Region; whereas only about 100,000 cases were reported
