About

What is this site?

manitobameaslemap.com is an independent, non-commercial data visualization project that compiles publicly available Manitoba Health data into an interactive map and dashboard. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the Government of Manitoba, Manitoba Health, or any health authority.

This is a personal project by Jack Buchholzer. Contact: jcbuchh@gmail.com

Why does this exist?

Manitoba is experiencing its largest measles outbreak in decades. Having a single, visual, map-based reference for exposure locations and vaccination data helps people quickly understand the geographic scope and severity of the outbreak.

The official Manitoba Health exposure page is a series of tables. This site plots that same data on a map and adds context through charts showing case trends, vaccination coverage, and severe outcomes.

Where does the data come from?

How current is the data?

Data is automatically pulled from Manitoba Health sources daily. The "last updated" timestamp on every page reflects the most recent data pull.

Case data on the Manitoba Health page is updated Fridays. Exposure locations are updated as they are identified, typically every few days.
