"The virus is still prevalent in the city's population, but it is getting much more common and prevalent across Queensland. We can only hope that by providing them with vaccine and their access to an effective vaccine, they are able to safely and successfully evade this dangerous, and potentially fatal, disease."
ABC news has confirmed the case of a girl who was exposed to measles in Melbourne.
Her father was at the hospital, and was not able to get to her.
He gave his thoughts for the girl's family in a statement: "The vaccination we received yesterday came at the very best time. We had to have a meeting with each of the staff at the hospital and with the parents, with Dr. Andrew in Melbourne today.
"We will have a public conversation between all the hospital staff and parents about the situation during the moment.
"We all feel that vaccines, especially the Gardasil, are a vital component of a strong immune system - something that can keep the virus at bay in a critical condition.
"We take great care to maintain safety and provide health and security to our patients."
