Measles outbreak in Hawke's Bay has forced the school authorities to boot out infected students from the school to curb the spiraling claws of measles. If reports are to be believed, almost 50% school students of Napier school were turned town to attend regular classes for two weeks as they failed to produce the mandatory immunisation certificate, as demanded by the Hawke's Bay District Health Board.

More are expected to face the wrath lest they are not being immunized for measles considering the health and safety of other children in mind. Referring to a recent case at Henry Hill School, Napier, Hawke’s Bay District Health Board Medical Officer of health Lester Calder claimed, "Excluding children caused family disruption often impacting on parents' ability to work and it could so easily be prevented by ensuring children's immunisations were up-to- date and their immunisation record was copied to the school or childcare centre”.

Meanwhile, the district health board is waiting for final genotyping to reaffirm their assumption that all the cases are some or the other way stemmed from a suspected case in Auckland.

Though school authorities have done their best to inform the families of their wards to get their child immunized, reports are still not satisfactory enough to sit and wait for the situation to improve by its own.
