What to do if you were exposed
People who are most at risk of getting measles are those born in 1970 or later who are completely unvaccinated against the disease, including children under one year of age.
Contact your local public health team if you may have been exposed and any of the following apply to you:
- you are immunocompromised
- you are unvaccinated and pregnant
- you have a child under one year of age who was exposed
- you are born in 1970 or later and are unvaccinated
- you are born in 1970 or later and are unsure of your immunization status
The public health team will review your immunity to measles and provide recommendations around potential post-exposure prophylaxis.
Individuals exposed to the measles virus should monitor for symptoms that may develop up to three weeks after being exposed. If you were exposed between June 16 and 21, you could develop symptoms up to July 12.
