A measles outbreak in Norfolk County, linked to low vaccination rates, sickened 300 people and led to Canada losing its measles elimination status.
The Grand Erie Public Health unit, formed in January 2025, responded to a major measles outbreak in Norfolk County that caused 300 cases—12.5% of Ontario’s total—and 18 hospitalizations, mostly among unvaccinated children.
The outbreak, which lasted until October 2025, prompted public alerts naming affected schools, businesses, and venues, and led to Canada losing its measles elimination status.
The unit used pandemic-era tools like robocalls, mobile clinics, and multilingual outreach to reach at-risk communities, emphasizing transparency and rapid response despite leadership and staffing challenges.
