Exposure locations

Public health follows up directly with known contacts of measles cases. 

The list of exposure locations below includes settings where public health is unable to identify and contact everyone who may have been exposed. There may be additional community settings where exposures have occurred.  Immunization is the best way to prevent measles.

If you may have been exposed, monitor for symptoms of measles and use the measles exposure risk assessment tool to determine your next steps. People who are most at risk of infection are those who are completely unvaccinated against the disease, including children under one year of age.

    Overview of guidance: What to do if you have been exposed

    People who are considered immune to measles

    This includes:
    • children under one year of age
    • unimmunized pregnant people
    • people​ who are immunocompromised​​
    Post-exposure prophylaxis may be offered within six days of the exposure. Please contact public health in your region as soon as possible.
    ​

    Healthcare workers who are not immune to measles 

    • Connect with your workplace / occupational health services if you are not immune to limit the potential spread of measles.
