Two more measles cases confirmed in BC, says @VCHhealthcare. In one case, officials don’t know how the person caught it, meaning the virus may have been transmitted at a public place. So others may also have been exposed. A list of places where exposure may have occurred: 
If you’ve been exposed to measles, there’s nothing to do except watch and wait for symptoms. If they develop, call before showing up to see your health provider so precautions can be take to avoid further transmission.
Measles is HIGHLY contagious. If you are exposed and unvaccinated, odds are you will get it, hands down. So get vaccinated. People born before 1970 or those who have had measles are likely immune. Those born between 1970-1994 likely only got one dose and may need a booster shot.
The measles vaccine is safe and so effective. This is a fact and is backed up by public health experts from around the world who have dedicated their lives to saving ours. #VaccinesWork
