            "description": "Local health officials are reminding families not to forget one important item as the school year begins. Dr. Davinder Singh, Medical Officer of Health with Southern Health–Santé Sud, says the return to school is a timely opportunity for parents and caregivers to review their children's vaccination records, especially in light of a recent uptick in measles cases across Manitoba. “The most important thing families can do right now to help prevent measles, and other vaccine-preventable diseases, as kids head back to school is to review immunization records,” says Singh. “Not just for the kids, but for everyone in the household.” As of August 9, the province has reported 11 measles-related hospitalizations this year, one requiring intensive care. All were unvaccinated children under the age of 10. googletag.cmd.push(function() { if($(document).width()<900) { s = googletag.defineSlot('/50748803/stol-all-bigbox', [300, 250], 'div-gpt-1648064325258-bbm1'); s.setTargeting('URL', [window.location.pathname]); s.setTargeting('position', [1648064325258]) s.addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().refresh([s], {changeCorrelator: false}); } }); A preventable risk Measles remains one of the most contagious viruses, and its early symptoms can resemble those of a common cold: fever, cough, runny nose, and red, watery eyes. These symptoms are typically followed by a red, blotchy rash that begins on the face and spreads downward. “What makes measles especially tricky is that it can be contagious even before the rash shows up, about four days before. Someone may not even realize they’re sick before they’re spreading it to others,",
