"Canadian Health Officials Issue Measles Warning Amid Outbreak Concerns"

Health officials in Canada are warning of potential local spread of measles, with two recent cases in Quebec and Ontario not linked to travel or known cases. Concerns arise as vaccination rates drop and more parents express skepticism about routine childhood vaccinations. While experts believe the risk of a massive outbreak is low, they stress the importance of vaccination to prevent onward transmission. The highly contagious virus can lead to severe complications, but the two-dose vaccine regimen is over 95% effective at preventing infection. Officials urge Canadians to ensure their vaccination records are up-to-date, especially before travel.
