Spring break is here, and you may be traveling to locations that are currently experiencing measles outbreaks. There are not yet any reported cases in Ottawa, but we want you to be prepared. Measles is the most contagious virus known to infect humans and can be very serious.
If you do not know if you are immune to measles through previous infection or vaccination, we recommend you get vaccinated to prevent illness. Find more information at cdc.gov/measles. If you have questions, call your healthcare provider.
