As measles cases rise in Manitoba, health experts advise unvaccinated individuals to avoid large public gatherings, especially following potential exposure at the AG Days indoor farm show in Brandon. Approximately 35,000 attendees might have been exposed to the virus, with symptoms appearing weeks later, increasing transmission risk. Experts stress that only vaccination can curb the outbreak, as herd immunity is no longer effective. Without increased vaccination rates, stricter measures may become necessary in the future.
