The following message is from Dr. Ernst Greyvenstein, Chief Medical Officer, Primary Care Alberta:
As measles cases continue to rise across the province, Primary Care Alberta is urging all primary care teams to promote immunization and raise awareness among patients. Immunization remains our most effective defense against the spread of this highly contagious disease, particularly for those most vulnerable in our communities.
We encourage you to review these resources and engage in conversations with your patients about the importance of being up to date with their measles vaccinations.
If you work in a clinical setting, please take a moment to print and display this Measles Immunization Poster from Alberta Health Services (AHS) in a visible area. This simple action could serve as a crucial reminder for patients to take the steps needed to protect themselves and their families.
Thank you for your continued commitment to public health and for playing a vital role in helping prevent further spread of measles. Together, we can safeguard our communities through awareness and timely immunization.
