The BC Centre for Disease Control is reporting 8 new measle cases in British Columbia. All but one of those new cases have come from Northeast BC.
The seven new cases in the region bring the total for 2025 in the Northeast, to 285. Almost 80 per cent of the province’s 374 cases this year, have come from the Northeast this year.
The BC CDC is reporting that the measles is actively circulating in Dawson Creek.
Officials continue to urge British Columbians to get vaccinated. They also say that misinformation is being spread online about the vaccine and is contributing to the rise in cases.
