[]
Steinbach News
Public health officials with Manitoba Health, Seniors and Long-Term Care are notifying the public of a new measles exposure site in Steinbach at the Bethesda Regional Health Centre.
Certain people should not get the measles vaccine including infants less than six months of age, pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems.
These individuals should contact their health-care provider or public health as they may be eligible for preventative treatment (within six days of exposure).
Close contacts may be asked by public health to isolate and consider vaccination.
In the case of a measles exposure, a second dose may be given earlier than four to six years of age.
