Jason G Lake et al. Clin Infect Dis. .

Abstract

Measles virus is highly infectious and can spread rapidly where vaccine coverage is low and isolation precautions suboptimal. We describe healthcare-associated measles transmission during the 2015-2016 measles outbreak in Mongolia, describe infection prevention gaps, and outline preventive strategies.
