Vancouver Coastal Health is warning anyone who went to the Skookum Festival, visited Noodlebox Mount Pleasant or the Outdoor Community Block Party or used public transit in Vancouver at specific times that they may have been exposed to measles.
A list of the specific locations and times, which range between Saturday and Tuesday, is available on Vancouver Coastal Health’s website.
Anyone who attended those locations at the specified times and who has not been fully immunized with two doses of the measles vaccine nor had the disease in the past should see a doctor immediately.
The health authority says if you think you have been exposed and are not immune to measles, which is a highly contagious disease that spreads through the air, you should get immunized within six days of exposure to protect yourself.
