The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

DO NOT FEED YOUR PETS RAW FOOD. A batch from Wild Coast Pet Foods came as "non-negative" for #H5N1, which means it is probably positive, but it needs to be confirmed at the CDC as well. Cats are dying, and the virus keeps mutating. Not worth the risk. Once again, do not feed your pets raw food.

If you're worried about vaccine availability moving forward talk to your pediatricians. While there is a routine schedule, there is flexibility. For example Gardasil is usually given at 11 but can be dosed as early as 9. MMR is given at 12 and 48 months but dose 2 can be given earlier.

Hey, fellow Canadians who live in places that get lots of snow: what's the etiquette around kicking that hunk of dirty snow hanging from wheel wells on other peoples' cars? Is it a no-no? I really really want to kick them all...
