The health unit advises anyone who thinks they may have been exposed to measles to check that your immunization record is up to date with the measles vaccine.
Anyone who may have had an exposure and is immunocompromised or unimmunized is asked to contact their local public health unit to assess eligibility and need for post-exposure treatment.
Symptoms of measles can appear up to 21 days after exposure, and include high fever, cold-like symptoms (such as coughing and runny nose), sore eyes, sensitivity to light and a red rash lasting four to seven days.
