"Vaccine Preventable Diseases
- In 2014, there were nine laboratory-confirmed measles cases in Manitoba. The relatively-high case count in 2014 was due to an outbreak which occurred in the spring of 2014. Eight of the nine laboratory-confirmed cases in 2014 occurred between the beginning of March and the end of April—the ninth case occurred in August (imported case). The Winnipeg RHA experienced the highest number of cases with six laboratory-confirmed cases (0.8 cases per 100,000 persons) but had the same incidence of Interlake-Eastern RHA (0.8 cases per 100,000 persons) which had just one laboratory-confirmed case. Prairie Mountain Health and Northern RHA had no laboratory-confirmed cases of measles in 2014. Despite measles being a “childhood” disease, the majority of cases (six of nine) occurred in adults over the age of 19". - Manitoba Annual Summary of Communicable Diseases 2014
