Have you been exposed to the measles? Consult Quebec's tracker

Quebec has logged 12 cases of measles since the start of 2024, according to the latest data. Nine of those cases were reported in Montreal.

To help keep outbreaks in check, the province is tracking areas frequented by measles patients in recent weeks.

If your vaccines are up to date and you think you've been exposed to measles, the Health Ministry recommends monitoring for any symptoms.

If you're not protected, the ministry recommends self-isolating for 14 days (with "day one" being the day you were exposed).

Those considered protected are:

•  people born before 1970
•  people with a lab test demonstrating the presence of measles antibodies
•  people with a medical certificate confirming that they had measles before Jan. 1 1996
•  people with written proof of measles vaccination

Two doses of the vaccine are required for people born after 1980 to be considered fully protected. The same is true for people born between 1970 and 1979 who work in healthcare, travel to a country where measles is circulating, or are military recruits.

To make a vaccine appointment or for information on your vaccine status, call 1-877-644-4545.
