”Public Health Ontario said Thursday there have been 572 cases since the outbreak began in October, 453 of them confirmed and 119 probable.
Of the 42 people requiring hospitalization, two have required intensive care,
and 36 have been children — most of them unvaccinated. “
” Article content The highly infectious disease is still predominantly impacting unvaccinated infants, kids and teenagers,
most in Southwestern and Grand Erie public health units. “
”The measles vaccine typically starts for babies at one-year-old,
but Ontario public health units have made it available to babies as young as six months in response to the outbreak.”
”New measles cases have appeared in Waterloo, in the western edge of the Greater Toronto Area, and Lambton County in southwestern Ontario.
Just south in Chatham-Kent, cases nearly doubled to 39 in the past week, and the spread continues northeast in Huron Perth where 55 people have been sickened.”
It would be interesting to know the demographics and immigration status of those unvaccinated kids.
