Anyone who may have visited one of those locations and who has not had a measles vaccine is encouraged to come down to an immunization clinic at Brentwood Mall in Calgary between 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Anyone who visited the locations born after 1970 who hasn’t had two doses of measles vaccine may also be at risk for developing measles.

Those individuals are advised to monitor themselves for symptoms of measles. If symptoms do develop, call Health Link at 811 before going to a doctor.

Symptoms of measles include a fever of 38.3 degrees Celsius or higher, cough, runny nose or red eyes and a blotchy rash that appears three to seven days after the fever starts, beginning behind the ears and face and spreading down the body to the arms and legs.

Anyone who was not exposed to the measles in one of these locations can call Health Link at 811 for advice or to book an appointment for a booster shot.  

Last month, AHS warned of a similar situation after a person with a confirmed case of measles flew through the Edmonton International Airport.
