Guidance for the control of measles incidents and outbreaks in Scotland

This guidance is the outcome of a review process undertaken to update the January 2014 Guideline for the Control of Measles Incidents and Outbreaks in Scotland. It also includes the additional November 2014 proposed pre- and post-exposure to measles algorithms for management of healthcare workers.

Some recommendations have changed since 2014, in the light of new evidence and expert consensus.

This guidance represents the view of the Scottish Immunisation Programme, working under the auspices of the Scottish Health Protection Network (SHPN).
