ALBERTA, CANADA, JUL 20 – Alberta recorded 1,407 measles cases due to declining vaccination rates amid rising vaccine hesitancy, surpassing the U.S. total of 1,309 cases, health officials said.
- By midday Tuesday, Alberta had documented a cumulative total of 1,472 individuals infected with measles since the initial outbreak started in March 2025, with the virus continuing to spread.
- The surge follows higher measles rates in some areas and doctors urging vaccination and early doses for babies from six months old.
- Over the past two weeks, 17 new cases have been identified in Calgary, prompting the expansion of immunization clinic hours and the addition of clinics in several heavily affected neighborhoods.
- Edmonton pediatrician Dr. Tehseen Ladha emphasized that the likelihood and severity of illness from the virus are considerably greater than the risks associated with vaccination, highlighting that around 10% of infected individuals require hospitalization.
- The Alberta government says it is working to limit spread but considers physicians’ calls for broader early infant vaccination unnecessary despite warnings about school outbreaks.
