Canada loses measles elimination status amid year-long outbreak: Health officials - ABC News
The country has seen continuous measles transmission for more than 12 months.
Canada has lost its measles elimination status after struggling to contain a year-long outbreak, the country's public health agency announced on Monday.
The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) said it was informed of the loss by the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) after more than 12 months of continuous measles transmission. Canada's outbreak began in late October 2024 with more than 5,100 measles cases recorded, data from the health agency shows.
Cases have been confirmed in most of Canada's 10 provinces as well as the northwest territories.
Amid growing Texas outbreak, how contagious is measles?
Canada is able to re-establish its measles elimination status if measles transmission related to the current outbreak is "interrupted" for at least 12 months, according to health officials.
The country will present and implement an action plan under PAHO's regional framework to increase immunization coverage, reinforce surveillance systems and ensure rapid outbreak response to stop spread.
"This is a very unfortunate event," Dr. William Schaffner, a professor of preventive medicine at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, told ABC News. "It certainly is an embarrassment, and it is a ringing alert that we've got to do better to persuade parents, make them comfortable, assure them that vaccinating their children against measles is very important to those children and to the communities in which they live."
Measles was declared eliminated from Canada in 1998, two years before the U.S., meaning this is the first time Canada has lost its status in nearly three decades.
Health ministers across Canada were briefed last month on the country's measles outbreak and discussed response efforts, including trust through community engagement, according to PHAC.
In a press conference on Monday, Dr. Jorge Barbosa, director of PAHO, said barriers to accessing measles vaccines need to be improved, including making sure health centers are opened on weekends and are stocked with vaccines.
The U.S. could be next to lose measles elimination status after seeing continuous measles transmission since January.
Even a small uptick in vaccination could prevent millions of US measles cases. Here's how
So far this year, more than 1,600 cases have been reported in 41 states, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

An outbreak in Texas played a large role in the spread of measles in the U.S., infecting more than 700 people and leading to the deaths of two unvaccinated school-aged children. Cases are notably currently spreading in Arizona, Utah and South Carolina.
"We have been flirting with the elimination of measles status because there are pockets of parents across the country that are withholding their children from measles vaccination for reasons that escape me. This vaccine is extraordinarily safe and extraordinarily effective, and measles is definitely not an illness you would want your child to have, and you certainly don't want it your child to spread it to other," Schaffner said.
The CDC currently recommends that people receive two doses of the MMR vaccine, the first at ages 12 to 15 months and the second between 4 and 6 years old. One dose is 93% effective, and two doses are 97% effective against measles, the CDC says. However, data show that vaccination rates have been lagging in recent years.
When asked which countries were on the verge of losing measles elimination status and at-risk of a measles endemic, Barbosa declined to specify.
Even a small uptick in vaccination could prevent millions of US measles cases. Here's how
Canada's measles elimination also means the Americas as a region has lost it verification status as free from measles transmission, according to PAHO.
This is not the first time this has happened. A 2017 measles outbreak in Venezuela caused the country and the Americas to lose elimination status in 2018, which was followed by an outbreak in Brazil that led to a loss in status in 2019.
However, both countries showed by 2024 that they had controlled endemic spread of the virus, allowing the Americas to regain its verification status.
"As a region, we have eliminated measles twice; we can do it a third time," Barbosa said during the press conference.
ABC News' Dr. Meredith Montgomery contributed to this report.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers December 3: Donna Gives Blindsiding News on Eric's Health
Bill demands the truth from Ridge, while Donna delivers bombshell news about Eric’s condition that no one sees coming. Tune in for an emotional Wednesday in Los Angeles.
The Bold and the Beautiful’s must-watch moments for Wednesday, December 3, include Donna blindsiding everyone with surprising news about Eric’s health. Plus, Bill confronts Ridge over what he did to Katie.
Key Takeaways
What Happened Previously on B&B
Luna (Lisa Yamada) was officially pronounced dead after admitting she’d miscarried Will’s (Crew Morrow) baby, bringing a final, devastating end to the chaos she unleashed the moment she slipped out of prison. In the wake of her death, Will and Electra (Laneya Grace) have been trying to create a pocket of peace at the beach house, even as the emotional shockwaves continue to hit them from every direction.
At the same time, Bill (Don Diamont) and Katie (Heather Tom) found themselves pulled back into each other’s orbit in a way neither expected. Supporting Will through the trauma of being raped by Luna forced them into a shared emotional space — one that cracked open old loyalties and reminded them how deeply they function as a team. But their renewed closeness also came at a painful professional cost.
While Katie was focused on Will, Forrester Creations quietly replaced her as head of PR, leaving her blindsided, hurt, and suddenly displaced from the company she’d fought to serve and protect. Reeling from that betrayal and searching for stability, she accepted Bill’s offer to move back in. Now, the two are rebuilding a life under the same roof, though whether they are truly reconciling or simply surviving the fallout together remains unclear.
Ridge (Thorsten Kaye), meanwhile, spent Thanksgiving at Steffy’s, but he and Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) remain steady and united. The couple recently took time to reminisce about their long, complicated history — a rare, quiet moment amid the storm Los Angeles has become.
MORE: Bill had a warning for the Forresters.

Beyond Ultra-Processed Foods: Can Farmers Fix Our Health and the Planet? (James Rebanks)
Available for over a year
Is it possible to produce enough healthy food to feed the nation whilst also restoring nature? The farmer and best-selling author James Rebanks thinks it is but says there needs to be a radical change to government policy and our entire food system. He explains why he thinks farming subsidies are flawed, the unintended consequences of cheap food, and the delicate balance between food security and environmental stewardship. And from the hills of Cumbria to a remote island in Norway, he also reflects on the lessons he learnt about masculinity whilst writing his latest book, ‘The Place of Tides’. A government spokesperson said: “Farmers are stewards for our nation's land and for our food security. Farming also plays a central role in our mission to kickstart economic growth. “We understand that when farmers run profitable businesses, it’s good for the whole economy. “That is why we are backing them through new technology, streamlined regulation and our nature-friendly farming schemes are helping farmers produce food for the nation.” This podcast has been updated since the original broadcast to remove some inaccuracies around pig farm numbers.
