Astrid April, die Kliniese Program Koördineerder vir Gemeenskapsgebasseerde dienste in die Breedevallei. “Kinders is baie kwesbaar.

Measels spreads quickly: Get booster immunisation at the clinic or an outreach
The Western Cape Department of Health and Wellness confirms that there is currently an outbreak of measles in the Cape Winelands area. Measles is a serious disease that can lead to health complications if your child is not immunised. Booster immunisations against measles is available at clinics and at special outreaches.
In the Breede Valley healthcare workers will move in communities to offer booster immunisation to children between the ages of six months to 15 years. You can also attend outreaches like these:
Friday, 4 September
Time: 16:00 – 18:30
Venue: The office of Boland Hospice at the Durban Centre, 85 Durban Street, Worcester
Saturday 5 September
Time: 09:00 – 12:00
Venue: The office of Boland Hospice at the Durban Centre, 85 Durban Street, Worcester
Please bring your child’s Road to Health booklet with you. Your child must be healthy on the day of immunisation.
“We want to make it as easy as possible for everyone to protect their children against measles,” says Ms Astrid April, the Clinical Programme Coordinator of Community Based Services in the Breede Valley. “Children are very vulnerable. Please use the opportunities of special outreaches to get immunisation sooner rather than later.” For enquiries about 4 and 5 September, contact Astrid at 023 340 1340.
