Measles alert for Ottawa region
vision@eap.on.ca Ottawa
The OPH urges parents to check their children’s vaccination records to make sure their inoculations against measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) are up to date. All children attending school or a licensed child care facility in Ontario must have MMR inoculations. Exceptions are allowed but only for special circumstances. Infor- mation on immunization is available from the OPH at www.ottawa.ca/health. The MMR vaccine is available at little or no cost through public funding. The current outbreak in Québec is affecting children and young adults who have received the recommended number of vaccine doses. Measles is a very contagious disease, passed on through coughing and sneezing. Symptoms begin with high fever, runny
nose, red eyes, and a cough. Follow-up symptoms include a red rash that starts on the face and head and spreads all over the body. Someone sick with measles can infect others during the four days before and the four days following appearance of the rash. Possible complications from measles include ear infection, brain infection, pneumonia and, in rare cases, death. Standard vaccination against MMR involves two doses of vaccine. A child should receive the first dose on or after the first birthday. The second dose is given between the ages of four and six. Two doses of MMR vaccine are also recommended for young adults, age 18 to 25, post-secondary students, health workers, and those who travel abroad.
