Canada’s top doctor concerned about measles outbreaks in Ontario, Quebec
Canada’s top doctor says she is concerned about measles outbreaks with a growing number of cases acquired locally and spreading in Ontario and Quebec.
Dr. Theresa Tam says the majority of recent infections reported in Canada were among people who were unvaccinated, including many children, and infants under one.
Tam says all of the people who were recently infected were exposed to measles in Canada, rather than international travel, which was the initial source.
Health Canada reported eight measles cases as of Jan. 11, but local public health units have released more recent numbers with much higher case counts.
