Two new cases of measles have been confirmed in the Saint John area, bringing the total number to five, according to New Brunswick's Department of Health. The cases were confirmed late Saturday and are linked to a previous confirmed case at Kennebecasis Valley High School. The department already offered an immunization clinic to all students and staff at the school on Friday after two cases of measles were confirmed. Symptoms usually begin eight to 12 days after infection. New Brunswick children are routinely immunized against the measles with two doses of MMR, at 12 months and 18 months.
