Measles is highly contagious and characterized by a blotchy, red rash. It can cause serious complications like pneumonia and brain swelling (encephalitis).
Immunization is the best way to prevent measles. Talk to your health-care provider or call Health Links – Info Santé about how to catch up (1-888-315-9257) to ensure everyone is up to date. If you are planning to travel with an infant between 6 months and 12 months of age, talk to your health care provider about early measles vaccination.
Unsure if you have received the measles vaccine and want to check your immunization records? Have questions about the vaccine? Talk to your health-care provider or local public health office or request your records online: https://forms.gov.mb.ca/immunization-update-request/
