Canada is experiencing a surge in measles cases in 2024. Mathematical models are a tool to support planning and response to infectious diseases. This PHO Rounds will describe the results of a brief modelling study that explores the impact of public health interventions such as vaccinations, case and contact management, and their potential impact on measles cases and outbreaks. This information can inform implementation efforts by local public health and policy decisions in response to potential outbreaks.
