3 more cases of measles have been
reported in Ontario bringing the total number of infected people in Canada to “22”.
If vaccinating your child is a
requirement to register him/her for school, how is it possible that some
children are attending school not vaccinated? Here is the answer to that
question. There is an exemption to inoculation if a parent submits a statement informing
the school that vaccinating their child goes against their religious beliefs.
Since measles is a highly
contagious and potentially fatal disease, there is good reason for concern.
Symptoms of
Measles

The Provinces’ Support for Vaccinations

Ontario and Saskatchewan
residents are the most supportive of immunization, while Quebec shows the least support.
