Singapore strengthens measles prevention measures
新加坡加強麻疹預防措施
As of early 2026, Singapore has stepped up its efforts to curb a resurgence of measles.
截至2026年初，新加坡已加強其抑制麻疹捲土重來的力道。
Because Singapore is a major global travel hub, it remains susceptible to imported cases, despite having achieved measles elimination status in 2018.
儘管新加坡在2018年已達成麻疹消除的狀態，但因為它是主要的全球旅遊樞紐，依然容易受到境外移入病例的影響。
The Communicable Diseases Agency (CDA) has implemented stricter measures as of April 2026, including mandatory isolation for confirmed cases and restricted access to high-risk environments, such as childcare centers and healthcare facilities, for those potentially infected.
傳染病局（Communicable Diseases Agency, CDA）已自2026年4月起實施更嚴格的措施，包括針對確診病例的強制隔離，以及對可能感染者限制進入托兒所和醫療機構等高風險環境。
The cornerstone of Singapore’s defense remains its high vaccination coverage.
新加坡防禦的核心仍然是其高疫苗接種率。《
The Infectious Diseases Act makes measles vaccination compulsory for children under 12, and the National Childhood Immunisation Schedule ensures two doses are administered early in life.
傳染病法》（Infectious Diseases Act）規定12歲以下兒童必須強制接種麻疹疫苗，而「國家兒童免疫計劃」（National Childhood Immunisation Schedule）則確保在生命早期即施打兩劑疫苗。
Public health officials emphasize that maintaining herd immunity—keeping vaccination rates above 95%—is critical.
公共衛生官員強調，維持群體免疫（將疫苗接種率保持在95%以上）至關重要。
By combining mandatory immunization with swift containment strategies, Singapore aims to keep this highly contagious virus under control.
透過結合強制免疫接種與迅速的控制策略，新加坡旨在將這種高傳染性病毒控制住。
