- The outbreak began in October and primarily affects unvaccinated infants, children, and teens in several provinces facing rising case numbers.
- Ontario reported nearly 1,800 cases last week, Alberta 628 cases as vaccination rates among seven-year-olds fell to 76 percent in 2023.
- In Alberta, 60 percent support vaccination mandates, up from 48 percent last year, while 37 percent express no confidence in the provincial government’s outbreak response.
- The poll’s findings suggest increasing public demand for immunization proof in schools and daycares to counter ongoing measles spread and vaccination declines.
