Halton Public Health Confirms a Second Milton Measles Case and Lists New Exposure Sites

Milton residents are being urged to check their vaccination records again after Halton Region Public Health confirmed a second measles case in the community this year. Health officials say the new case is linked to direct exposure to the earlier confirmed case, and they have released a fresh list of locations where members of the public may have been exposed.

What Happened

Halton Region Public Health confirmed the second case and identified several public locations and time windows in early September where exposure may have occurred. Because measles is highly contagious and can spread through the air, health units routinely publish these exposure notices so anyone who may have been affected can take precautions.

The health unit is reminding residents that two doses of measles vaccine are recommended for anyone born on or after January 1, 1970, and that symptoms can take up to 21 days to appear.

Key Details

• Kaha Masjid Khadijah / Milton Banquet Hall, 3090 Steeles Avenue West — September 4, 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

• Qahwah Cafe & Shisha Lounge, 3411 Lakeshore Boulevard West, Etobicoke — overnight September 5 into September 6, 11:00 p.m. to 3:30 a.m.

• Real Canadian Superstore, 201 Oak Walk Drive, Oakville — September 8, 7:30 p.m. to 10:15 p.m.

• Two doses of measles vaccine are recommended for anyone born on or after January 1, 1970.

• Symptoms can appear up to 21 days after exposure and may include fever, cough, a rash, and small white spots inside the mouth.

• Infants under one year, pregnant individuals, and people who are immunocompromised are considered higher risk and should contact public health right away if they may have been exposed.

Community Impact

Public exposure notices are a standard way for health units to slow the spread of contagious illness. Residents who believe they were at any of the listed locations during the noted times are encouraged to confirm they are up to date on their vaccinations and to watch for symptoms.

Anyone with questions can reach Halton Region by calling 311 or by visiting the Halton Region public health website for the latest guidance.

Background

This is the second confirmed measles case in Milton this year, following an earlier case that also prompted a public exposure notice. Measles became rare in Canada after widespread vaccination, but individual cases and small clusters still occur, and public health responds by tracing possible exposures and encouraging immunization.
