    Actually measles is no longer endemic in Australia. WHO gave us a clean bill of health (so to speak) in 2014. Department of Health | Measles – Elimination Achieved in Australia

    "On 20 March 2014, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced that measles elimination had been achieved by Australia, Macao (China), Mongolia and the Republic of Korea. These are the first countries or areas in the Western Pacific Region to receive this distinction."

    FYI... last recorded death from measles in Australia was in 1995.

    "Evidence suggests that endemic measles has been eliminated from Australia, with the absence of a circulating endemic measles strain for several years"
