Unanswered questions for QLD Health

[Guest guest]

Despite many phone calls to this woman since the 5th of March when I

originally requested this information, it has not been forthcoming. I

need your help please. These are important questions and we deserve

adequate answers. Below is the list of questions I asked. Please

forward this list on your own email (don't just forward this message -

copy and paste it into a new message from you) to the following people

and say that with all of the misinformation and fear that has been

coming out of the Sunshine Coast in regards to these cases of measles,

you would like to know more details and would appreciate their prompt

response with accurate information since QLD Health does not seem to

be able to answer these questions:

Dear Kate,

Thank you for your time on the phone earlier. I am on a very tight

deadline so I would appreciate this information as soon as possible.

First of all, any media releases that have been issued by the

department on this subject would be great if you could forward them to

me via email. Next, I have the following questions:

1- How many confirmed cases of measles have been reported so far?

2- How many suspected cases?

3- Have the confirmed cases been confirmed by laboratory blood testing?

4- Of those who are confirmed as having measles, how many of them are

completely unvaccinated? How many are partially vaccinated? How many

are fully vaccinated? How many have parents who say that they were

vaccinated but who have no documentary evidence to prove these

assertions?

5- Of those who are ill with measles, have there been any

hospitalisations or serious complications reported

6- How many children have been excluded from the school due to their

vaccination status?

7- How many teachers and other school staff have been excluded from

the school due to their vaccination status? What sections of the ACT

entitles QLD Health to exclude employees from a school setting during

an outbreak of measles?

Thank you very much for your help in this matter. I will contact you

by phone should I have any further questions and as I said earlier, I

am on a very tight deadline so your prompt attention to this matter

would be very much appreciated.

Kind regards,

Meryl Dorey
