Statement from Dr. Mark Joffe, Chief Medical Officer of Health (March 14, 2025)

Exposure Locations & Dates

Individuals who are not protected against measles AND who visited the following places on the dates indicated below may have been exposed and are at higher risk of developing measles. Information will be updated regularly if new cases are identified. This list includes only known exposure sites and there may be sites that have not yet been identified.

  • Anyone who attended these locations at these times who was born in or after 1970 should review their immunization records and confirm if they are fully immunized (documentation of 2 doses of measles containing vaccine on or after 1 year of age).
  • Individuals who were born in or after 1970 who are not fully immunized are at risk of developing measles and should monitor themselves for symptoms.
  • If symptoms of measles develop, stay home and call Health Link at 811. If you need medical care, call Health Link at 811 before visiting any healthcare facility or provider, including a family physician clinic or pharmacy. Tell them you have been exposed to measles and have symptoms.
    Note: if you visit a healthcare facility with symptoms of measles, you may be asked to wait in your car until a safe space is available to assess and treat.
  • In addition, individuals who are not fully immunized who are pregnant, under one year of age, and/or who have a weakened immune system should contact Health Link at 811 promptly if exposed as they may be eligible for vaccine or immune globulin to reduce the risk of developing measles.

About Measles

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 Health Advisories

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.
