    As Canada’s measles outbreak continues to grow, the country is at risk of losing its measles elimination status — a bar set by the World Health Organization.

    “The risk is substantial,” said Dr. Sarah Wilson, a public health physician with Public Health Ontario who has been tracking the measles outbreak in that province.

    Ontario is now reporting more measles cases each week than it once saw over an entire decade, Wilson said. “It is a very different situation than what we experienced in the last decade since measles elimination was achieved,” she said.

    Canada’s outbreak began in October 2024. That means if sustained transmission continues until October 2025, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) can revoke the elimination status.

    Canada currently has more cases than any other country in the Americas, according to PAHO.

      This is disgusting and not vaccinating your children should be legally declared child abuse.

      We cannot keep allowing the anti vaccination nut jobs to have a say about any of this and if they want to dig in their heels we can decide they aren’t welcome in our public spaces anymore. They can go live in the bush and survive off of their “own research”.

          How did you come to this conclusion?

            It is mainly spreading in the Mennonite community. They don’t want to advertise that and generate a backlash against them.

              Whatever happened to kids being forbidden from school if they aren’t up-to-date on their shots? I remember having nurses come to my class to give us the ones we were behind on.

                  Why is there never numbers in these articles that show us the numbers? Why is it always just phrased in ways that beat around the bush?

                      I don’t know exactly when it happened, but I remember the same thing in school in the early 2000’s.
