            "description": "Manitoba health officials tried a new approach to reach families with questions about measles, holding a telephone town hall earlier this week aimed at residents in Southern Health-Santé Sud, the region with the province’s highest measles case counts and lowest early childhood immunization rates. The province announced the event ahead of time as a way for residents to hear from public health experts and ask questions directly. Dr. Davinder Singh says the idea was to create another avenue for two-way communication at a time when one-way public messaging has not been enough to stop the outbreak. Why Southern Health was the focus Dr. Singh said the decision to focus on Southern Health was tied directly to the numbers. “Southern Health-Santé Sud is the region that has by far the most cases of measles,” he said. “And it’s directly because Southern Health-Santé Sud has the lowest rates of early childhood immunization for protecting against measles.” 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.setTargeting('story_id', 'telephone-town-hall-connects-families-with-measles-experts-amid-outbreak'); s.addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().refresh([s], {changeCorrelator: false}); } }); He said that makes the region the place where public health needs the biggest improvement in vaccine uptake if it hopes to slow the current outbreak and prevent the next one. A chance for two-way conversation Dr. Singh said the telephone town hall was designed less as a lecture and more as an opportunity to hear directly from residents. “This was really geared towards finding out what people wanted to know, what their questions and concerns were,” he said, adding the goal was to see whether another way of addressing those questions could help with what he called",
