The Alberta government requires pre-orders between August 11 and September 30, 2025. Order online at bookvaccine.alberta.ca or call 811. COVID-19 vaccines will be available only at public health clinics for eligible Albertans — fees may apply.

Measles is one of the most contagious viruses in the world. If you're exposed and unvaccinated, you may need to quarantine for up to 21 days, even if you feel fine.

What many don’t realize:
🔸 1 in 10 will get an ear infection that can lead to permanent hearing loss
🔸 1 in 20 children with measles develop pneumonia
🔸 1 in 1,000 can develop brain swelling (encephalitis), which may cause long-term disability

Getting your measles immunization is easy, free and effective. Two doses protect over 95% of people for life.

Call the Measles Hotline at 1-844-944-3434 to book your immunization appointment, check your records or get more information.

If you live outside Calgary or Edmonton, contact your local public health or community health centre for immunization information. Find yours here: https://bit.ly/4maM44J

If you have any questions about measles or immunizations, please contact your PCN health care provider.
