Canada has reported 1,177 measles cases this year across seven provinces, with Ontario seeing the highest numbers.
Measles is one of the most contagious infectious diseases — more contagious than diseases like COVID-19 , influenza and chickenpox.
Canada achieved measles elimination in 1998 after years of strong vaccination efforts.
To prevent measles outbreaks and maintain herd immunity, at least 95 per cent of the population must be vaccinated.
