Exposure guidance
Peel Public Health directly contacts people who were at exposure sites if possible. PPH advises anyone who was at these sites or thinks they have been exposed to measles to do the following:
- Check their immunization record to confirm they and their family members are up to date with measles vaccinations (MMR or MMRV). Those who are unsure can check with their health care provider. Two doses are generally recommended for anyone born in or after 1970. In general, those born before 1970 are considered protected against measles.
- Anyone experiencing measles symptoms (see below) should contact their health care provider, or if not available, their local public health unit as soon as possible to get advice. Do not attend work or school. Before going to see your health care provider, inform them you may have been in contact with someone who has measles.
