Students at Fleetwood Park Secondary School in Surrey, B.C., are being told to stay
away from class if their measles immunization is not up to date.
The warning comes from the Fraser Health authority in response to a possible
measles exposure at the school between Oct. 30 and Nov. 2.
A letter posted on the school's website from the authority advises that students or
staff who were born in 1970 or later will not be allowed to return to the school until
Nov 26 if they have not been vaccinated against measles.

Those who have had one dose of the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine will be
allowed at school only if they attend a free clinic Thursday or Friday to bring their
immunization up to the required two doses.
