The Deets

Alright, so listen up. A baby born early in southwestern Ontario just, like, didn't make it after catching measles. Turns out, the baby got the virus from their mom while still in the womb 'cause she wasn't vaccinated. This is the first death in Ontario's measles outbreak, which started last October. πŸ’”

Now, the baby was dealing with other health issues too, but measles def didn't help. Public health peeps are stressing how serious measles can be, especially for pregnant people and immunocompromised folks. Like, pneumonia and brain swelling are no joke. 😬

The Deputy Premier and Health Minister were, like, shook by the news, calling it "deeply disturbing." They're begging everyone to get vaccinated, especially if you're planning on having kids. Two doses of the MMR vaccine can save lives, no cap. Ontario's seen over 2,000 measles cases since October, so it's a whole situation. Southwestern Ontario's getting hit the hardest. 😩

Symptoms of measles include high fever, rash, Koplik spots, coughing, and runny nose. Protect yourself and those around you, get vaccinated!πŸ’―
