With rising numbers of measles cases overseas and lower vaccination rates locally, primary care needs to be ready to respond quickly and effectively to patients presenting with a high index of suspicion for measles. This includes practice preparedness.
This webinar will discuss:
• Clinical presentations — signs, symptoms and differential diagnosis of measles
• Vaccination — current rates, gaps, and available vaccines
• Assessing the risk — what constitutes a high index of suspicion?
• Working with public health — when to call and what to expect
