MODERATORS
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A child under five years old has died of measles in Ontario, according to the province's public health agency, the first such death in more than a decade.
In a report published Thursday, Public Health Ontario said the child was not vaccinated against the highly infectious respiratory virus.
Measles has been on the rise in both Ontario and elsewhere in Canada as cases increase globally, particularly in Europe, which has seen tens of thousands of infections over the last year.
Dr. Isaac Bogoch, an infectious diseases consultant at Toronto General Hospital, says Canadians planning to travel should ensure they are protected against the virus given the rise in infections abroad.
Bogoch said interruptions to routine childhood vaccination schedules during the COVID-19 pandemic means that some young children may have missed a dose.
For infants set to travel internationally with their caregivers, especially to destinations with high rates of measles infection, the first shot can be moved up to six months in some cases, Bogoch said.
