Ontario is currently experiencing a severe measles outbreak with over 650 cases reported. This has led New York state health officials to issue a travel advisory urging residents to get vaccinated before visiting Ontario or other areas with outbreaks. The advisory highlights the highly contagious nature of measles, emphasizing that about 90% of unvaccinated individuals exposed to the virus can become infected. As travel increases during spring and summer, the importance of maintaining up-to-date vaccinations is underscored to prevent further outbreaks.
"Measles is a highly contagious virus. Around 90 per cent of people who are exposed to a person with measles will become infected if they are not vaccinated."
"Currently, measles outbreaks are happening in parts of the United States and Canada, especially in Ontario, and around the world."
