                          Alberta sees measles upswing with dozens of cases reported over the weekend
                          By Arielle O'Shea
                          Posted Mar 11, 2026 4:48 pm.

                          Alberta is facing another sharp rise in measles infections, with dozens of new cases reported in recent days.

                          There were 36 new infections reported over the weekend, pushing the provincial total to more than 150 so far this year.

                          Alberta Health says most of the new infections were detected in the South Zone, though cases were also confirmed in Edmonton, Calgary, and the North Zone. The province continues to grapple with one of the largest measles outbreaks in Canada, second only to Manitoba.

                          Pediatric infectious disease physician Dr. Karina Top says the overwhelming majority of infections are occurring in people who have not been immunized.

                          “Over 90 per cent of the cases reported in 2026 have been unvaccinated,” she says. “We’re seeing a lot of cases in children who are old enough to be vaccinated but are not vaccinated.”​...
