Students attending the event then travelled to other parts of the country and the infected student took a Jetstar flight (JQ258) to Auckland on Tuesday.

National Public Health Service interim clinical lead Dr William Rainger said people who were at locations of interest at the same time as the case should get vaccinated if they were not immune, or were unsure, and watch out for symptoms.
“Those at high risk will be contacted directly by public health in the next few days,” Rainger said.
“Northland health staff are working closely with the case and their household, who have been very proactive in helping us trace contacts, and we would like to thank them for their support.”

Te Whatu Ora advised people who suspected they had measles to stay at home and call their healthcare provider or Healthline on 0800 611 116 for more advice.
Measles signs and symptoms
· It usually takes 10-12 days from exposure to the first symptom.
· The illness begins with fever, cough, runny nose, and conjunctivitis (inflammation in the eyes), which lasts for 2-4 days.
· It may be possible to see small white spots (Koplik spots) inside the mouth.
· A rash appears 2-4 days after the first symptoms, beginning at the hairline and gradually spreading down the body to the arms and legs. The rash lasts for up to one week.
Te Whatu Ora also reminded people to stay up to date with their immunisation.

“If you are unsure whether you have had one or two doses of MMR, for most people it’s safe to get vaccinated again,” Rainger said.
“However, if you are pregnant or have a health condition meaning you have a weakened immune system, please speak to your health care provider before getting vaccinated as it may not be appropriate.”
