Queenslanders are being urged to check their measles vaccination records, following the 14th diagnosis of the highly infectious disease in the state this year.

In the past two weeks alone five people in Ipswich have been diagnosed with measles.

Measles causes fever, cough and a runny nose, then a red spotty rash and sore eyes.

A range of interstate and international visitors have also been diagnosed while visiting the state's southeast in the past two months.

Queensland Health communicable diseases unit doctor Stephen Lambert urged those aged 30 to 45 to check their vaccination records, saying the group was more susceptible to the disease than other parts of the population.
