Two confirmed cases of measles in adults in Toronto are both travel related, the city’s public health unit said Monday as it warned the public of possible places where they may have been exposed to the virus.
Sachdeva did say that both people were born after 1969, which means that they likely only had one dose of the vaccine that protects about 85 per cent of the population against measles. A second shot will up that protection level to 95 per cent. “It is very contagious, infectious, particularly in an unimmunized population, but the good news in Toronto is most people are immunized,” Sachdeva said.Toronto Public Health said that members of the public may have been exposed to the measles virus in several locations on May 5 and May 8.
Other locations include Remely’s Restaurant, in north Toronto between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. on May 5, and the Toronto Zoo between 1:30 p.m. and 5 p.m. on May 8.“It’s alarming to hear not just that there are outbreaks of measles happening, in one example, but an increase in the number of people who are vaccination hesitant,” he told reporters Monday.
Due to budget cuts, only 62.39% of the population will either be warned and educated ahead of time or be tracked down and cured after the fact. The other 37.61% are apparently 'lefties' and not part of 'For The People'.
Too bad DougFord cut Public Health in TO. What will happen? Hospital costs - that will cost the province more in the end. Thanks, Doug - you so smart - Nobel Peace Prize on policy!
