Over 25% of our children have not been immunized by the time they enter school. That's not only surprising, it's dangerous -- because there has been an increase of diphtheria, whooping cough and measles in recent months. The Ontario Ministry of Health provides vaccines to immunize children against diphtheria, polio, whooping cough, tetanus, measles, mumps and rubella (German measles). Your Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) pays a fee to the doctor for administering them. Immunization can save lives and is quick and easy. It's up to you -- to make sure that your children are protected. Take them to your family physician now, or have them immunized by your local health unit.
