A confirmed measles case has prompted an exposure warning in Grande Prairie.
AHS says if you were at the following locations during these times, you may have been exposed:
Shoppers Drug Mart Wapiti Centre
Exposure Time Period:
June 17, 2025: 3 p.m. – 6 p.m.
New Horizon CO-OP Trader Ridge
Exposure Time Period:
June 22, 2025: 7 p.m. – 9:30 p.m.
Anyone who was at these locations at those times, who was born in or after 1970 and has less than two documented doses of the measles vaccine may be at risk of developing the illness. Symptoms include a fever, a cough, a runny nose and/or red eyes and a rash that shows up three to seven days after the fever starts. The rash usually starts behind the ears and on the face, then spreads down to the body and to the arms and legs.
The Alberta government has also launched a measles hotline at 1-844-944-3434 if you have any questions or concerns.
