The Spin

Canada's measles outbreak shows the system working as intended. Health officials quickly coordinated across all levels of government, implemented evidence-based responses and slowed transmission through strong public health measures. The vaccine remains highly effective and restoration efforts are already underway.

Vaccination rates have plummeted to dangerous levels, the outbreak spread to over 5,000 cases nationwide and the collapse exposes critical weaknesses in surveillance systems.
