Alberta Surpasses 700 Measles Cases

Alberta confirmed 710 measles cases in 2025, with the outbreak mainly affecting the South Zone and surpassing the 1987 record of 690 cases.
The outbreak began in March and spread primarily outside Calgary and Edmonton zones, with the South Zone hardest hit due to many unvaccinated individuals.
About 535 cases occurred among youth under 18, and hospitalizations reached four, including one in intensive care, with no deaths reported so far this year.
Health officials note 91% of cases with known immunization status were unvaccinated, and a South Zone standing exposure advisory urges up-to-date immunizations.
Alberta Health Services issued localized warnings and emphasized the case count likely underrepresents actual infections, implying continued public health vigilance is needed.
