The Ontario Medical Association is “revving up” its campaign to fight anti-vaccine myths.
Association president Dr. Sohail Gandhi will address a special session in Kingston on Tuesday, discussing what the World Health Organization calls one of the top ten global health threats – “vaccine hesitancy.”
That is, people who do not take vaccinations, or who are commonly known as “anti-vaxxers.”

They will discuss the importance of vaccinations, current vaccination rates in the region, and the Medical Association’s new campaign to target the spread of anti-vaccine myths.
