The Health Bureau (SSM) is considering mandatory measles shots for non-resident workers, Lam Chong, director of the bureau’s Disease Prevention and Control Centre, said yesterday.
Lam made the remarks during a press conference at the public Conde de São Januário Hospital Centre about the measles situation in Macau.
Lam pointed out that Macau was officially declared measles free in 2014, when it was one of the first four countries and regions in the Western Pacific region to have eradicated the disease.
