Abstract

Five cases of measles were reported to the Department of Epidemiology in Denmark between mid-January and early February, 2008. The cluster involved four adults aged between 23 and 39 years and an infant. All cases resided in the greater Copenhagen area. Three cases were unvaccinated, one was vaccinated with two doses, and in one case the vaccination status is not yet known.
