PEI Canada

Prince Edward Island’s Chief Public Health Office has confirmed two cases of measles on the Island. These are the first reported cases since 2013.

The affected individuals are adult residents of PEI who traveled together to an area within Canada where outbreaks are ongoing. Both individuals were unimmunized and have since recovered. Public Health Nursing is working with contacts of these cases in the community to provide immunizations as needed. Contact-tracing is ongoing. No public exposures have been identified at this time.
