Vaccination Clinics

Measles vaccine is required for all individuals in the following groups:

• Infants six months of age to less than 12 months of age who are living in or travelling to the Calgary, Central or Edmonton Zones of AHS, or travelling to any out-of-province destinations in which measles outbreaks are ongoing
• Children 12 months of age or older, who have not yet received their first dose of measles vaccine;
• Children four years of age and older, who have not yet received their second dose of measles vaccine;
