Extra MMR vaccine stock is now available in Victoria for this state-funded campaign. 

• Orders are made through the routine process via OneLink - you can reference "Enhance Measles Vaccination Response" in the notes section. 
• The eligible population is people age 20 -59 years (can include all people born during or after 1966).
• Infants aged 6- 11months are also eligible for state-funded vaccine dose prior to overseas travel.
• For people without documented evidence of immunity, two doses of MMR should be administered, at least 4 weeks apart. Ensure you review the Australian Immunisation Handbook for guidance about MMR vaccination and contraindications.
• Serological testing is not required before vaccination. Additional doses are safe. People with existing evidence of serological immunity, or documentation of 2 doses of measles-containing vaccine, do not need further vaccination.
• Ensure all vaccine encounters are uploaded onto the Australia Immunisation Record (AIR).
• Please complete the Log Sheet below and submit it monthly to GPHU to assist us in monitoring the effectiveness of this campaign.
