I confirmed that she did but despite being vaccinated she still caught a mild case with a rash across her shoulders. Our GP made a house call because he could not believe it..confirmed it was measles.
With out the vax she would have been very ill!

And don't forget the public health nurses that came in to check for lice.
Literally everything.
still alive to tell the tale
It would be great if we didn't need vaccines. The truth is that viruses have a very strong capacity to propagate within is. Its biology. 🧪🦠
Now, (& the Only reason I moved back to AB was to help my sister care for our mother) as a senior on OAS, I have to deal with far-right facists, separatists & #MapleMagats BS wrecking this province!!!
when you have a socialized healthcare system, you follow basic rules period.
"Measles... is one of the most contagious viruses on the planet, with an R number of 12 to 18 — meaning one infected person can spread it to up to 18 others in an unvaccinated population."
(The pneumatic syringe they used back in the day looked like a Star Trek TOS phaser set to "VACCINATE.")
Exceptions ONLY for Medical reasons - NONE for religious etc
If a parent refuses, they can home school or pay for a private school that doesn't require vaccination. And any private school that doesn't require vaccination should be barred from ALL govt funding.
I too think they should be required.
in turn will protect the kids who are immunocompromised.
Those kids have enough to deal with.
Why is chemo costing you anything?!

They did assign a social worker to see about some other funding, that may be the other program you mention.
This is a net positive by hundreds of millions annually. It’s a relatively small investment.
a bit of fomo during the first campaign in grade three, as I had just recovered from measles, myself, but knowing none of my schoolmates would be hospitalized the same as I was enough comfort to squash the fomo
