Traveling to Taipei (measles)

This is interesting and scary:

The CDC has introduced a new system at airports that requires children younger than six years of age returning from a foreign country to provide a vaccine record. Make-up injections will be provided if children have missed any required vaccines.

Does this apply to foreigners traveling there as well?

Make-up injections will be given where, at the airport? Before you can come back into the country? WTF? Sounds like serious BS to me. I wonder if this applies if you come back from Europe or other countries.

I don't believe it is so. We travel to the EU every summer and have never had a problem or encountered a vaccine issue anywhere.

Gitti, this looks like for coming back into Taipei, not the US or the EU. They say CDC but I think they mean Taipei's CDC. This is what is odd.
