Quebec appears to be winning its battle against the rising tide of measles after 45 cases were confirmed province-wide this year. "We've had no locally transmitted measles cases since March 25, so that's good news," said Dr. Paul Le Guerrier, responsible for immunization for Montreal Public Health. There are 17 patients with measles in Quebec currently, and the most recent case is somebody who was infected while abroad, he said. But it was no small task to get to this point.
