Public Health Units conduct case management and contact tracing upon notification of probable or confirmed measles cases within their jurisdiction. If the Public Health Unit cannot reach everyone who was exposed to measles during a contact-tracing investigation, it will notify the public of potential community exposure location(s).
Vaccination is the best defence against measles, a highly contagious respiratory virus. One dose of a measles-containing vaccine is about 85% to 95% effective at preventing measles. With two doses, efficacy rises to nearly 100%.
Grey Bruce Public Health has created a dedicated measles webpage, available at the following link: Measles – Grey-Bruce. This webpage includes information on measles-containing vaccines, including when individuals should be vaccinated, along with a list of local measles exposure locations, and additional information on the measles virus, including symptoms and the virus’s infectious period.
