    • Measles outbreak

    The measles virus has recently reappeared in Quebec, with cases reported in the Laval region. Due to the increase in cases, the highly contagious nature of the virus, and the potential severity of measles, vaccination is the best way to protect yourself and others!

    Ensure your vaccination is up to date.

    Did you know…

    Measles is a very contagious disease and, in some cases, can be very serious. Up to 80% of unprotected people may develop the disease if they have been in contact with a positive case.

    • Young children
    • Pregnant women
    • People with weakened immune systems

    It is possible to be infected and catch the disease without direct contact with someone with measles. For example, just being in the same room as a contagious person, even briefly, can be enough.

    Who should get vaccinated?

    • People born after 1970

             AND

    • People who have never received the measles vaccine

             OR

    • People who have never contracted the disease

     

    If in doubt, people should get vaccinated and have their children vaccinated. There is no risk in receiving another dose of the vaccine if already protected against measles.

    According to Quebec's vaccination schedule, children receive a combined vaccine at 12 months and 18 months.
