A measles immunization clinic set for Wednesday and Thursday in Saint John has been expanded.
The clinic was originally for those who were at the Shadow Lawn Inn for lunch on May 6 or sat in sections 26 or 27 during the John Cleese show at Harbour Station on May 7 and whose vaccines were not up to date.
Those people may have come into contact with one of the confirmed cases of measles.
Now, the Department of Health says the clinic is open to anyone in greater Saint John born between 1970 and 1995 who has not received two doses of the MMR vaccine.
