Before the MMR vaccine, 100s of children died from Measles every yr in 🇨🇦
W/ vaccination rates declining & measles spreading like wildfire, more children risk death or permanent brain damage.
I urge parents to vaccinate their child. Could be the diff between life & death.

While healthy habits boost your immune system, a vaccine provides proven protection against common diseases.
Don’t let misinformation steer you wrong!
