Last week an Albany Senior High School student tested positive for the virus prompting the school to close. Public health officials were working out who among the school’s 1000 staff and students might not be vaccinated or immune to the disease. Auckland Regional Public Health Service said there were about 75 students and 14 staff who might not be fully protected. The Ministry of Health had also listed a possible measles exposure event in Auckland on its website. (Details about who was and was not considered immune were listed on the website).
