If you/your child were present in the Pediatric Emergency Department of the Montreal Children’s Hospital (MCH) on January 24 and/or January 25, you may have been exposed to chickenpox (varicella). A patient who was in the same area during this time has since been diagnosed with the virus.
Chickenpox is a vaccine-preventable contagious illness that causes an itchy rash characterized by red spots and/or blisters. Other symptoms can include fever, decreased appetite, headache, cough and sore throat.
If you/your child meet either one of the above criteria, no further action is needed on your part.

If you have questions or concerns, you may contact your family doctor or call Info-Santé at 8-1-1.
