Measles epidemiology in Australia: 2014 to 2024

Erratum to Commun Dis Intell (2018) - https://doi.org/10.33321/cdi.2026.50.016

Abstract

This article, as originally published, contained a mis-compiled tabulation of the notified measles clusters within Australia for the period 2014–2024, inadvertently misrepresenting the distribution of measles clusters across the country during this period. The revised text passages and the revised table presented on the following pages correct these errors.

Australia has maintained endemic measles elimination since verification was first achieved in 2014. To support sustained elimination, and strengthen national preparedness, we conducted a ten-year review of measles epidemiology from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2024. Measles notifications to the National Notifiable Disease Surveillance System were analysed by sex, age, seasonality, state/territory, country of acquisition, vaccination status, genotype, and cluster characteristics.
