New measles exposure site in Chatham

There's a new measles exposure site in Chatham.

Anyone who visited St Clair College's community campus on May 5 from 10:45 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. should make sure they and anyone they've come in contact with are vaccinated.

If you're not vaccinated, it's recommended you call the Chatham-Kent Public Health Unit at 519-352-7270 ext. 5902.

You should also monitor for symptoms for up to 21 days from when you may have been exposed.

This exposure site comes one day after the Chatham-Kent Public Health Unit announced a separate site at Chatham's Walmart.

A complete list of measles exposure sites in Chatham-Kent can be found on the Health Unit's website.
