The recent measle outbreak highlights the need for people to check their immunisation status

A hospitality worker has Wellington's second confirmed case of measles.

The man worked at Kaffee Eis outlets in Frank Kitts Park, Courtenay Place and Cable Car Lane and went to Les Mills in Taranaki Street, between Wednesday and Sunday last week, while he was infectious.

Two Rugby World Cup quarter-final games and fine weather created a busy weekend in the capital and the man, working on the waterfront, possibly came into contact with thousands.

Public health officials are tracing staff, but say it is not possible to trace customers and gym members.

Anyone who was at those places should check their immunisation status.

There is no link between this case and September's case of a Victoria University student.

Amazing this push and social conditioning to pedal these dangerous vaccines to the public. I am astounded by the fact that these vaccines have serious concerns overseas and are being pushed by a very powerful elite. Read about vaccines and there dangers particularly the measeals vaccine, you wont be told about them in this country.
