Doctors are urging public health officials in Ontario and Alberta to step up vaccination and messaging efforts as measles outbreaks in those provinces continue to grow.
Ontario reported 223 new confirmed and probable infections of measles over the past week. As of May 2, a total of 210 confirmed measles cases were reported to Alberta Health.
“That’s the largest single week increase since the outbreak began in October of 2024,” said Dr. Sarah Wilson, a public health physician with Public Health Ontario.
Fancy Canadians with your fancy science.
So jealous
Alright I’ll add it to the list, fugg.
Just a friendly reminder that you can get a simple blood test to see if you’re still protected by the vaccine. Iirc the vaccine just flat out doesn’t work for a not insignificant amount of people (I remember it being 10%).
And this test was free in a Red state (I browse by All). Idk how getting it would work in Canada, though.
