The danger of measles is not over yet, 18 cases have been reported in Quebec

The danger of measles in Canada is not over yet. In Quebec, the cases have reached 18 and the provincial government has alerted schools and service centers in this regard.

Health officials have asked people who have not received their full doses to get their vaccinations as soon as possible. Schools have been told that if a case of measles comes to light, the child should be advised to isolate at home.

Schools have sent letters to the parents in this regard, in which they have been advised to check their child's vaccination record to know whether their child is protected or not. In addition, the health official has also said that anyone born after 1970 who has never been vaccinated against measles or who has never had the disease should also be vaccinated immediately.

It is worth noting that last time there were cases of measles in Ontario, Saskatchewan and BC. Vancouver Coastal Health registered one case, which was related to international travel.
