MEASLES UPDATE

Public health has confirmed a measles outbreak in Hastings County.

Measles is a serious, vaccine-preventable infection that can cause severe life-long complications. The best way to protect yourself from measles is by being fully vaccinated. Residents are urged to check their vaccine records to make sure their measles vaccines are up to date, and to remain watchful for symptoms, especially if not fully vaccinated.

Vaccine appointments for those whose vaccines are not up to date can be booked at hpePublicHealth.ca/clinic/immunization-clinic.

South East Health Unit

As of Jan. 1, 2025 Hastings Prince Edward Public Health; Kingston, Frontenac and Lennox & Addington Public Health; and the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit have merged to form the South East Health Unit.

Partners and members of the public should continue to engage with their local public health offices as usual until otherwise directed.

Efforts are underway to develop branding for the South East Health Unit, which will take several months. In the meantime, you will see logos and other advertising material with Hastings Prince Edward Public Health branding. You may also see some documents using the legal name South East Health Unit.
