Stay home when (unknowingly) sick? Measles is highly contagious, even before symptoms appear, airborne, and this Gov has encouraged anti-vaccine sentiments for five years, so maybe your advising vax now is a little late @abhealthservices.bsky.social ? Kids will bring home this shit to babies.
Picture is a screenshot of a letter sent to parents of children in CBE on June 10,2025. It reads (in part, character limits): “Measles is spreading—not just in other parts of the world but right here in Alberta. This disease, once rare in Canada thanks to measles vaccines, is now circulating in several areas of our province. It’s a highly contagious illness that spreads quickly, especially in close-knit communities where people gather frequently and where immunization rates are lower. The reality is measles often hits young children the hardest. Of the 761 confirmed cases of measles in Alberta as of June 5, 576 are in children under the age of 18. We are continuing our ongoing efforts to prevent measles and protect the health and well-being of children in Alberta. The measles vaccine is highly effective at preventing infection and complications from disease. As we approach the summer months and increased travel, I want to reiterate that you can protect yourselves, your loved ones and the people around them by ensuring measles immunizations are up to date. For those who chose not to its important to understand the risk of illness and transmission of measles in Alberta is now at the highest it’s been in 25 years. As health care providers we want to keep you and your family health and safe, but we cannot do that without your help. While getting your measles immunization is the first and most critical thing you can do, it is also important to: • Stay home when feeling sick. • Avoid close contact with people who are sick. • Call Health Link at 811 before visiting any hospital, clinic or healthcare provider. • Measles Hotline 1-844-944-3434 • Text for vaccine record: to check the immunization record for you or your child, text “vaccine record” to 88111. This information is also available through the hotline. Rest assured that there are protocols in place if there is a measles case reported at your school.”
