Measles awareness: What McMaster community members should know
With cases of measles on the rise in parts of Ontario, McMaster is reminding students, faculty and staff about the importance of vaccination and illness prevention.
Hamilton is not currently identified as a higher-risk area, but public health officials continue to monitor trends across the province. Measles is highly contagious, and vaccination remains the best protection.
Community members are encouraged to review measles information from the City of Hamilton and visit McMaster’s Guidance for Illness Prevention page for tips on staying healthy.
Anyone who suspects they may have measles should seek medical attention and inform health authorities.
