US EditionAlberta Reports 53 More Cases of Measles, Surpasses 900 Total Cases Since March
- Alberta reported 53 more measles cases over the weekend, bringing the total to 932 since March 2025, the highest in over 40 years.
- The measles resurgence follows declining vaccination rates, with only 68.1 per cent of two-year-olds up to date in 2024, below the 95 percent needed for herd immunity.
- Four people are hospitalized with measles, including one in intensive care, while Alberta Health Services issued exposure advisories mainly in the south health zone.
- Experts warn these outbreaks threaten Canada’s 1998 measles-elimination status, with Dr. Shelley Duggan stating there is unlikely to be control before October 2025.
- The rising cases signify a tipping balance favoring infectious diseases, prompting calls for urgent public vaccination to reverse lowered protection.
