The first case of measles reported in Nova Scotia this year has turned out to be no more than an inconvenience for the woman who contracted it. Trevor Arnason, regional medical health officer for the Nova Scotia Health Authority, said the case of measles confirmed in the Halifax area this week is unlikely to cause a serious outbreak of the disease. (CBC)Trevor Arnason, the Halifax regional medical officer of health with the Nova Scotia Health Authority, said it's not clear where the woman got the measles. It's good idea to check to see how many doses of measles vaccine you received if you were born after 1970. Measles is a viral illness and most people fully recover within two to three weeks, the health authority said.
