ORANJESTAD - Any person can get Measles, but there is a high-risk group in our community that can get seriously ill from it.
The Aruban community has a high vaccination rate of 95%. It is the reason this vaccinated group protects the unvaccinated (Herd Immunity). When traveling to a country where measles is prevalent, unvaccinated persons need to be conscious of their higher risk of getting the virus.
It is unknown who is vaccinated or not against Measles.
