Taking the measles vaccine right to schools removes a key barrier. It also sends a strong implicit signal about the government's belief in the vaccine's safety and importance in protecting children.

Measles! The Ontario outbreak is now HUGE so what can we do about it? Being compassionate, recognizing many parents don't have time or resources to get kids vaccinated and bringing vaccines to schools are a good first step. Great panel with @namshine.bsky.social
