Canada loses measles elimination status

Hi, I'm Verity, a reporter on the national news desk. I'll be bringing you
updates as we've just learned that Canada has lost its measles elimination
status. Health Canada has just released a statement announcing that the
Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) has notified the Public Health
Agency of Canada (PHAC) that Canada no longer holds measles elimination
status. The agency says PAHO "reviewed recent epidemiological and
laboratory data, confirming sustained transmission of the same measles
virus strain in Canada for a period of more than one year."
