Abstract

In Slovenia, where measles virus had not been circulating for many years, an outbreak of measles among visitors of an international dog show occurred in November 2014. We identified 23 measles cases plus 21 presumable secondary and tertiary cases. Thirty-nine cases were adults, 27 to 56 years-old, 12 of them vaccinated with two doses. Five were unvaccinated children. Thanks to high vaccination coverage (95.3% in birth cohort 2011) wider transmission is not expected in Slovenia.
