Gent: ‘We must not let measles take hold in Cayman’
A worldwide measles resurgence, driven in part by a growing anti-vaccine movement, has Chief Medical Officer Dr. Nick Gent warning that, even with currently high immunisation rates, Cayman cannot afford to be complacent. “Measles is probably the most infectious disease that we ever routinely see,” said Gent. “If immunisation rates slip and a vulnerable population develops, measles can get in quickly… It goes through a population faster than you can control it when that happens. We must not let that happen in the Cayman Islands.” For a more complete summary of the story, please see the below link:
