Measles info! As many of you have seen already, there have been recent exposures locally to measles. This is a highly contagious virus, and can linger in the air/on surfaces for hours. You are considered immune if you have had 2 MMR vaccinations. Anyone born between 1970 and 1995 who was vaccinated only had one, so needs a second unless you've already gotten a second dose as an adult. You can check your immunization records on the BC health gateway. If you are concerned you've been exposed and are not immunized or are pregnant, please contact your healthcare provider. For ongoing updates regarding exposures, symptoms, how to contact public health etc please refer to the BC CDC site ( www.bccdc.ca/health-info/disease-conditions/measles )
