Ongoing Measles Transmission in Alberta
There is ongoing transmission of measles across Alberta, with numerous babies, children and adults being impacted. The list of locations below is not fully reflective of all locations where individuals may have been exposed to measles. This is because not all individuals with measles are tested or seek medical attention.
Recent cases have been reported across all Zones, and in clusters of high numbers, particularly in Southern and parts of Northern Alberta. All individuals living, working, attending school in, or travelling to these areas are advised to be aware of the significant current risk for measles disease.
A standing measles exposure advisory for South Zone and these locations in the North Zone: The Hamlet of La Crete, St. Theresa General Hospital in Fort Vermilion and Northwest Health Centre in High Level have been issued until further notice. Site-specific exposure advisories will no longer be issued in these areas.

Measles is extremely contagious. Measles is a virus that spreads easily through the air when someone who has measles coughs, sneezes, yells, sings, and breathes. You can get measles just by passing through a room or location where a person who is infected was up to 2 hours before. The person who is infected does not still need to be there to put you at risk of disease. The best protection against measles is to ensure you are up to date with your immunizations.
Measles cases are increasing globally, with numerous countries and travel destinations reporting outbreaks including the United States and Europe. Cases have been identified recently in several Canadian provinces, including Alberta.
For all health professionals and AHS staff visit Measles Information for Health Professionals.
