This morning, a brand new chapter in Australian skies made its maiden voyage!

Qantas’ newest jet, A321XLR “Outback Way” spread its wings from Sydney at 10.35am, charting a smooth course westward bound to Perth. ✈️

The aircraft’s name is part of a new fleet naming theme, honouring Australian walks, rivers and roads.

This state-of-the-art aircraft is aptly named after the legendary route the Outback Way, crossing the heart of Australia from Winton to Boulia, through to the Northern Territory and into Western Australia.

The flight isn’t just a journey, it’s a nod to the spirit of adventure that connects Australia 🇦🇺

Members of the public who visited the above areas on the specified dates and times may have been exposed to the disease and need to be alert for symptoms for up to three weeks from the exposure date.

Measles is a highly infectious virus that is spread by coughing and sneezing or through direct contact with secretions from the nose or mouth. Symptoms usually start 7-10 days after contact with an infected person but can sometimes take as long as three weeks.

Symptoms
The initial symptoms of measles can include fever, lethargy, runny nose, moist cough and sore red eyes. This is followed a few days later by a blotchy, red rash which often starts on the face and then becomes widespread over the body.

What you should do
If you have any measles symptoms, you can arrange testing with your doctor or call 13HEALTH (13 43 25 84) for advice.

If you think you may have measles, it is very important that you avoid public spaces.

Please contact your GP and pathology services before attending so they can take appropriate precautions to avoid spreading measles to others. When you call, state that you have been in contact with a measles case.

Vaccination
Vaccination is an important step towards reducing the risk associated with vaccine preventable diseases and keeping people safe.

People who have been vaccinated against or previously contracted measles are very unlikely to catch the disease even if they have been exposed.

Those who are at highest risk of contracting measles include people who:
• have a weakened immune system or,
• were born during or after 1966 and have no documented evidence of having received 2 doses of a measles containing vaccine or
• have not been infected with measles before

Measles-containing vaccine is recommended for children as part of the National Immunisation Program at 12 months of age as MMR (measles-mumps-rubella) vaccine, and at 18 months of age as MMRV (measles-mumps-rubella-varicella) vaccine.

Queensland has an extended Immunisation Program for:
• Children aged 6 months to less than 12 months who are travelling to a country where measles is endemic, or where outbreaks are occurring, both overseas and in Australia.
• People born during or since 1966 to have two funded doses of measles containing vaccine
If you are unsure of your vaccine status, contact your doctor to discuss whether you may need a vaccine.

The MMR vaccine is free and available at GPs and participating community pharmacies.

For more information about measles, call 13HEALTH (13 43 25 84) or go to the Queensland Health website.

For information on measles alerts outside of Queensland please refer to individual state and territory websites.
