Measles at the airport
A passenger with measles came in on January 8 at Trudeau. There’s more detail about the flight (AC 835 from Madrid) and other places they are known to have been.
Cases of tuberculosis are also on the rise here.
Are you feeling a little feverish?

If enough people don’t immunize, measles is bound to recur like this.

Even if you did immunize as a child and are over 50, you may now be at risk.

I may have asked this before, but what if I had measles and am over 50?

This isn’t anything about risk, just Quebec government policy: If you’re born before 1970 you’re considered protected. If you’re born between 1970 and 79 you can get one dose. 1980 and later two doses.

Unless you are traveling outside Canada, when you can sometimes get the missing doses.
