Alberta has now confirmed more measles cases than the entire United States has reported this year.
The province has been battling outbreaks since March and as of noon Monday, total case counts in the province had ballooned to 1,314. The latest update from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that country has amassed 1,288 cases this year.
It is widely believed by experts and health officials that Alberta’s case counts are higher than the confirmed numbers reflect. A standing exposure advisory remains in effect for the entire south zone and parts of the north due to widespread transmission.
Wild, we all got vaccinated against measles as kids here, crazy that Alberta doesn’t have they kind of free healthcare yet.
Living in the dark ages.
I mean, we do. I just had a free surgery after a bunch of free doctor’s visits.
And I was dosed for free for that and other things as a kid. Some people have just been refusing it.
