Manitoba health officials urge vaccinations as number of measles cases climbs
'Even just 1 dose is very protective': Southern Health medical officer of health
CBC News · Posted: Apr 25, 2025 12:35 PM EDT | Last Updated: 3 hours ago​

Manitoba health authorities are working to build trust with southern communities where immunization rates are low, in order to prevent a full-scale measles outbreak.

"We are definitely seeing a change in decision making for a number of parents, but we also see a number of parents who are still continuing to decide not to have their children immunized. So it's definitely a mixed response," said Dr. Davinder Singh, a medical officer of health for the Southern Health region.

"We're constantly trying to build trust with those who, for whatever reason, have not had their children immunized … to try to provide information on the importance of it."




Measles can be life-threatening and tends to be more severe in infants and young children.

As of Thursday, there had been nine lab-confirmed cases of measles detected in Manitoba this year, according to provincial data....
