A mini outbreak of measles in Chimanimani District in Zimbabwe where the measles immunisation coverage is about 79% is reported. Although many of the cases occurred in susceptible non-immunised children of the vaPostori (Apostolic) religious sects, a large number was in teenagers and adults. The importance of health education in increasing community participation in immunisation is emphasised. There is need to chart out a strategy to deal with a projected pool of persons susceptible to measles as our coverage rates continue to increase.
