Manitoba health officials have identified Brandon Shoppers Mall as a new measles exposure site.
The province said in a news release Tuesday that anyone who was in the mall between 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. on June 29 is asked to monitor for symptoms until July 21 and ensure they are up to date with the measles vaccine.
People who were exposed to measles, born in 1970 or later and have never received a measles vaccine or had a measles infection should get the measles vaccine, the province said.
However, certain people should not get the measles vaccine, including infants less than six months of age, pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems.
Symptoms generally appear seven to 21 days after exposure. They may include a fever, runny nose, drowsiness and red eyes. Small white spots can also appear on the inside of the mouth or throat.
If symptoms develop, people who may have been exposed are advised to isolate at home and contact their health-care provider.
