Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph has been named as a risk area with ongoing measles circulation.
Dr. Matthew Tenenbaum, Associate Medical Officer of Health for Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health says while this designation from the province highlights the overall measles risk to the community, it doesn’t change their core guidance.
Dr. Tenenbaum continues to urge the public to get their measles vaccine as soon as possible.
Children 6 months of age and older can get their first dose and can receive their 2nd dose as early as four weeks after their first.
Adults born after 1970 can also get first or second doses if they haven’t already receive them.
