Ontario measles outbreak: Convincing unvaccinated slow going, top doc says [Video]

Ontario’s top doctor says measles cases in the province remain stable and largely isolated to a few specific cultural communities, but concedes convincing those groups to get vaccinated is “slow going.”

Since October, Ontario has recorded more than 1,400 new measles cases, linked to an outbreak that began at a large gathering with guests from Mennonite communities in New Brunswick last fall.

The province recorded 197 new active cases over the past week, its outbreak continuing weeks after neighbouring Quebec was able to declare its outbreak over.

Those numbers have led to growing criticism of the Ford government’s response and calls for the province to do more. Opposition parties have demanded a more visible public health campaign and vaccination drive.

While the numbers remain higher than they have been historically, Ontario’s chief medical officer of health, Dr. Kieran Moore, said he remains confident they are under control.
