There is a locally acquired case of rabies in Ontario.
The last locally acquired case in the province was in 1967.
Immediate vaccination/post-exposure prophylaxis after an exposure can be lifesaving.

ALT In 2021, 120000 people in Canada were living with cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs), including permanent pacemakers and defibrillators. The rate of infection in the first year after implantation is around 1%. One-year mortality after infection is 15%–30%.
PIP as a method of preventing HIV infections in people with a low # of higher risk encounters. Curious? see more below!
HIV Post Exposure Prophylaxis-in-Pocket (“PIP”) is an effective way to prevent HIV infections in those with a lower frequency of higher risk exposures.
This patient-centered & evidence-based approach enables autonomy over one’s care & keeps people out of busy emergency departments.
Great work by @maximebillick in @CMAJ:

If only we had some way to prevent measles
The Ohio measles outbreak is up to 50 cases. All are children 17 and younger; half are kids aged 1 to 2.
20 of these kids required hospitalization.
100% of these kids were unvaccinated.
