Two of the four Atlantic provinces have measles outbreaks

A dose of the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccination awaits the next patient during a vaccine clinic at Southwestern Public Health in St. Thomas, Ont., on March 4. THE CANADIAN PRESS/ Geoff Robins FREDERICTON — Two of the four Atlantic provinces are dealing with active measles outbreaks. Nova Scotia health officials say there are 30 cases in the province's northern zone, while New Brunswick's online dashboard says there are 15 confirmed infections in the south-central region. Earlier this year, Prince Edward Island reported four cases — two in April and two in June. Newfoundland and Labrador has not reported measles infections in 2025. On Thursday, Nova Scotia health officials said the northern zone outbreak involves communities with low measles vaccination rates, but didn't give details. Scientists say a 95 per cent vaccination rate — with two doses of vaccine — is needed in a population to prevent the disease from spreading. This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 25, 2025.

Vaccination rates among children in Maritimes are too low to stop spread of measles

A dose of the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccination awaits the next patient during a vaccine clinic at Southwestern Public Health in St. Thomas, Ont. on Tuesday, March 4, 2025. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Geoff Robins FREDERICTON — At least three out of the four Atlantic provinces have released data revealing their measles vaccination rates in children are below levels recommended by scientists to prevent the disease from spreading. In Nova Scotia, the provincial government told The Canadian Press that about 23 per cent of children were not fully vaccinated for measles in 2024. Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick say about 10 per cent of children were not fully vaccinated for the disease. Newfoundland and Labrador did not respond to requests for information on vaccination rates for measles. Janna Shapiro is a post-doctoral fellow in immunology at the University of Toronto. She says communities need to vaccinate at least 95 per cent of their population to achieve a level of herd immunity, which stops the disease from spreading. This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 9, 2025.
