Measles in Halifax

There’s been a measles outbreak in Halifax….first time in nine years measles have been reported in HRM.

Health officials are trying to determine how three people became infected given the widespread vacinnations to prevent it. They say most people are protected because of the vacinnations and the risk to the public is low…but anyone with symptoms should contact the health authority.
