I will never forget the eyes of the kid I treated who died of measles and the tears of their parent. I wish it on nobody.

Multiple people who have worked in #globalhealth have relayed variations of this story. These are people who see #measles routinely, and know how terrible in can be and that great lengths to get #vaccine for their chidren are worth it. With such easy access in Canada, I hope every child will get it.

“Since the introduction of the measles vaccine in Canada, measles cases have decreased by more than 99%”

Make sure you’ve had both doses. Masking provides an excellent additional layer of protection. www.canada.ca/en/public-he...

C'est vraiment une joie et un privilège d’agir en tant que médecin-hygiéniste.

En cette période des Fêtes, j'espère que vous trouverez le temps de rencontrer les personnes qui comptent le plus pour vous et de célébrer d'une manière qui a du sens pour vous et vos proches.

Promote and Protect Health for Everyone. Happy Holidays! From Public Health Sudbury & Districts

As I reflect on 2024, I’m appreciative to have been welcomed into the Sudbury community, and to have been given the opportunity to serve the people of Sudbury & districts in helping to build healthier communities for all. It is truly a joy and a privilege to serve as the Medical Officer of Health.

This is a pattern that’s been recognized for some time…respiratory infections diffuse up the age gradient. Daycares and schools are amplifiers.

For diseases that spread through air, a focus on ventilation and filtration in areas where kids could probably blunt this
