Epidemiologic weeks 1 to 52
"Measles is a highly contagious, acute viral illness preventable by measles vaccine. With adoption of the measles elimination goal for the Pan American Health Organization region, BC introduced a two dose measles vaccination program for children in 1996. Canada has been free of endemic measles (defined as an identifiable chain of transmission lasting over 12 months) since 1998 and measles was declared eliminated in the Americas in 2002. However, measles cases and outbreaks continue to occur in Canada due to periodic importation". - Measles Epidemiological Summary, British Columbia 2015
