Alberta surpasses all of the US in confirmed measles cases

Alberta has surpassed the United States in confirmed measles cases, after 30 new cases were diagnosed.

Once declared eradicated in Canada in 1998, measles has made a comeback, spreading rapidly in recent months due to declining vaccination rates.

The province has now seen 1,314 cases since the beginning of March.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reported 1,288
cases so far this year across 39 states.

Morgan Black has more on what doctors are calling for.
