May encourage you to get your immunity levels checked, especially if you were born around 1970-mid-90s, as we likely only had one shot instead of two. I asked my doctor to check out of an abundance of caution, and now I have upcoming appointments to get the MMR vaccine again. It’s free (covered by OHIP) to get the bloodwork and to get the shots.

Also, tangentially related, please allow me to encourage blood and plasma donation. Measles treatments include plasma products. Most of the unvaccinated are children who don’t have a say in the matter. We can’t help them get vaccines, but we can help with ensuring supply of medicine if they get sick (and their dumbass parents get scared enough to bring them to a hospital).

Didn’t the conservatives gain a bunch of seats down there?

The doctor also reiterated that measles is highly contagious, and “spreads rapidly through pockets of our community where there are people who are unvaccinated or have no immunity to measles.”

Many of those pockets are Mennonite and Amish religious communities, which contain high concentrations of unvaccinated people, Ontario’s top doctor Kearon Moore said in a letter to health units back in March.

According to Tran, outreach documents about vaccinations have been translated into Low German. SWPH is also working on outreach efforts geared toward summer camps and seasonal agricultural workers.

Doug Ford awkwardly attempts to skirt responsibility.
