A baby born prematurely and infected with measles has died in Southwestern Ontario, the first death associated with the outbreak that began in the province last fall.
Kieran Moore, Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Health, said the baby contracted the virus in utero. The mother was not vaccinated against measles, according to a statement released on Thursday.
