Montreal Public Health says hundreds of people may have been exposed to measles between Nov. 23 and Nov. 26. during and after a recent NATO conference held in the city.

It says one of the participants, who had not been vaccinated against the disease, received a measles diagnosis after returning to their home country and would have been contagious while in Montreal.

The health agency has listed the following locations as places of exposure:

  • Palais des congrès between Nov. 23 and Nov. 25.
  • A private event at Cirque Éloize, located at 417 Berri Street, between 7 p.m. on Nov. 24 and 1:30 a.m. on Nov. 25.
  • Humaniti Montreal Hotel from Nov. 23 to Nov. 26.
  • Trudeau International Airport on Nov. 26 before 5:09 p.m.
  • Toronto Pearson International Airport on Nov. 26 between 4:38 p.m. and 9:18 p.m.
  • Air Canada flight AC417 from Montreal to Toronto on Nov.26 — the airplane left at 3:09 p.m. and landed at 4:38 p.m.
  • Air Canada flight AC890 from Toronto to Rome on Nov.26 — the airplane left at 7:18 p.m. and arrived at Rome's Fiumicino Airport on Nov. 27 at 9:40 a.m.

Completely unacceptable. MMR is one of the most successful vaccines in history — three doses provides lifetime protection and herd immunity with 90% coverage.

It absolutely should be an entry requirement at the border any enrollment in any public institution.
