An increased number of measles cases in the U.S. this year is shining a spotlight on the importance of vaccination. Measles is a vaccine preventable disease, so when there are groups of unvaccinated individuals, that increases the risk of it spreading.

The recent resurgence of measles in many regions of the world, including Canada, is something we should not take lightly. Measles is a highly contagious and dangerous disease, particularly for children, as it can lead to serious complications such as pneumonia and encephalitis. Vaccination is crucial to prevent the spread of measles. It not only protects the individual who receives the vaccine, but also helps to maintain herd immunity in the population, protecting those who cannot be vaccinated due to medical reasons. Watch this short video to find out if you should speak to your doctor to make sure you are fully protected. #measles #vaccineswork

Vaccines play a crucial role in public health by creating herd immunity, which safeguards those who cannot be vaccinated due to medical reasons or age. They have a proven track record of reducing the incidence of life-threatening diseases. Without widespread vaccination, outbreaks of preventable illnesses can occur, threatening the well-being of both individuals and communities.

Yesterday, I tried to define the word 'Herd Immunity', to sensitise people about the significance of vaccination in the society. Then, someone asked how crucial herd immunity is in a given society? Well, it's simple. Herd immunity can protect some of the most vulnerable people in the community, as some people cannot receive some vaccines or do not develop immunity to diseases. This vulnerable group of individuals can include newborns, the elderly and those whose immune systems are compromised due to illness or medications. For these groups of individuals, herd immunity is a vital way of protecting them against life-threatening illness and disease. Once people around them developed strong immunity against certain diseases due to potent vaccines, the vulnerable ones can equally be protected because the chances of people those vaccinated contracts diseases are very slim. So play your part, get your entire household vaccinated today. #VaccinationForAll #MediaEISFellowship #30DayChallenge #VaccinesWork #BreakthroughAction
