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:

• Anyone who is pregnant, has a weakened immune system, or has an infant under 1 years old, should contact their local public health unit right away to ask about the possibility of preventive treatment.
• 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.
• Check your immunization record to confirm you and your family members are up to date with measles vaccinations (MMR or MMRV). If you are unsure, check with your 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.
