Measles is a virus that is extremely contagious, spreading easily through the air when someone who has measles coughs or sneezes. Measles is sometimes called rubeola or red measles.
The best protection against measles is to ensure you are up to date with your immunizations.
If you or your child is showing symptoms of measles, stay at home, avoid contact with others, and call Health Link at 811 before visiting any hospital, clinic or healthcare provider.
Talk to health professionals who can help you access your immunization records, provide advice if you have measles symptoms, help you book a measles immunization appointment, or find a public health clinic offering immunization in your area.
