 International Notes Update: Measles -- Canada, 1986
Between January 1, and April 12, 1986, 7,941 measles cases in Canada were reported to the Laboratory Centre for Disease Control, a greater than 20-fold increase over the corresponding period in 1985, and the largest number of measles cases reported since 1979 (Figure 1).
In addition, many children in Canada may have received further attenuated live measles vaccine and human immune globulin simultaneously, or live attenuated measles vaccine within 6 weeks after immune globulin, killed vaccine, or vaccine at under 12 months of age.
The current measles outbreaks in Canada are probably attributable to accumulation of susceptibles due to unvaccinated school-aged children who started school before widespread use of measles vaccine in Canada, persons inappropriately vaccinated, and vaccine failures.
