Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health is advising the public of a measles exposure at Guelph Medical Place Pharmacy, 83 Dawson Rd, Guelph on April 21, 2025, from 12:00p.m.-4:30 p.m.
If you were at this location, you may have been exposed to measles.
“Measles is spreading in our communities and anyone not fully vaccinated is at risk of this potentially serious illness,” said Dr. Matthew Tenenbaum, Associate Medical Officer of Health for Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health. “Measles is very contagious so know your vaccination status and get fully up to date with the measles vaccine if you are not already covered.”
Anyone who is not fully vaccinated against measles, and visited the location during the timeframe above, should monitor for symptoms of measles until the end of day on May 12, 2025. Early symptoms include:
- Fever
- Runny nose and cough
- Red, watery eyes
- Small white spots inside the mouth
Notify your doctor or healthcare provider if symptoms appear. If you think you may have measles stay home – do not go to work, school or other places where people congregate. Call your healthcare provider’s office to make an appointment and let them know you think you have measles so that they can make sure they take appropriate precautions to limit the spread.
WDG Public Health issues measles exposure notices when we are unable to contact all individuals who may have been exposed at specific locations and timeframes.
