Vaccine the Best Measles Prevention, Not Vitamins or 'Parties': B.C. Health Official

Seventy-Three measles cases have been reported in Northern Health, with one active case and ten hospitalizations due to the disease as of July 8.
Lavoie highlighted misinformation from the 1998 Wakefield scandal as damaging, leading to a decrease in vaccination rates and public health complications.
As of now, 67.8% of B.C. residents have received both doses of the vaccine, with significantly lower rates in Northern Health at 61.1%.
