The Chief Public Health Office has confirmed two cases of measles on PEI — the first reported cases in the Province since 2013. The cases involve adult residents of PEI who traveled together to an area within Canada where outbreaks are ongoing. Officials say both individuals were unimmunized and have since recovered. Public Health Nursing is working with contacts of the cases in the community to provide immunizations as needed. Contact-tracing is ongoing and no public exposures have been identified at this time.
Persons born before 1970 or who have had 2 doses of measles vaccine are considered immune.
