Opinions on measles vaccine differ in Southwestern Ontario after baby’s death

Rachel Smith is expecting to give birth any day in the epicentre of Canada’s worst measles outbreak in nearly 30 years. However, the Aylmer, Ont., mother is not worried about her health or the health of her baby because she’s fully vaccinated against the virus. Her cousin, Esther Wiebe, is not worried either, but for a different reason – she and her three unvaccinated children have already recovered from measles and are now immune.
