South East Health Unit (SEHU) is advising the community of additional measles exposures in Picton, Bloomfield, and Trenton.
If you were present at these locations during these timeframes and are:
immunocompromised (regardless of age or immunity)
- born after 1970 and not up to date with your vaccinations
- an infant less than 12 months
- pregnant
- a health-care provider or childcare/education worker and do not have two doses of measles vaccine or evidence of immunity
please call public health at 613-966-5500, ext. 349, Monday to Friday 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
This includes those who were only present briefly, as measles is highly contagious.
Please learn more about measles, view a list of all known measles exposure locations and timelines, and vaccination guidance on our website.
SEHU issues measles exposure notices when we are unable to contact all individuals who may have been exposed at specific locations and timeframes.
Measles is a reportable disease of public health significance that can result in complications such as diarrhea, ear infections, and pneumonia. Rarely, measles can cause brain infections and death.
