Measles cases in Alberta rise with majority in province's south

  • Alberta reported 365 confirmed measles cases since early March, with nearly two-thirds in the province's south health zone as of Monday noon.
  • The outbreak follows low immunization rates and multiple warnings about exposures in communities such as Taber, Whitecourt, and Grimshaw over the weekend.
  • Most cases are among children under 18, with 229 infections occurring in unvaccinated individuals and 14 believed to be still contagious.
  • Health Minister Adriana LaGrange announced a vaccination awareness campaign to start mid-May along with a new measles hotline to check immunizations and book appointments.
  • The rising case count and hospitalizations, including three intensive care patients, underline the need to increase vaccination uptake and limit further spread in Alberta.
