Associate medical officer of health Dr. Vinita Dubey says the case involves an unvaccinated infant who recently returned to Canada with its family from a trip abroad.

Possible exposure could have occurred at the Scarborough Health Network, Birchmount site, Feb. 28 between 5 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. and at the Huntingdale Medical Centre the same day between 4:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., or between 11:30 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Feb. 26. Dubey says anyone who may have been exposed should watch for signs and symptoms of measles. If symptoms develop, the individual should call before going to a health clinic to prevent possible exposure to others.

Measles though man damn!

You can choose not to vaccinate you’re kid and send him to school but you can’t send your kid to school with a peanut butter jelly sandwich.

I’m vaccinated.........so I can just sit back and enjoy the show

I love that the picture for this story, is a photo of THE CURE for this outbreak

If they choose not to vaccinate their children then keep them home! Why should mine be at risk?

Won't name the country for 'privacy reasons'. Canada is so friggin soft, pathetic

These anti vaxxers. This was never a problem till now

If only there was an easy way for most to avoid this.

I bet it’s because of all the vaccines!!1!1!1!1!1!!!
