Health has confirmed further cases
of measles linked to a dance festival
in Sydney.
Four of the cases attended
the 2013 World Supremacy
Battleground hip hop competition

could be a serious disease easily
spread to those not immunised or
who had not had it before.The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 06 Jan 14 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 06 Jan 14
