Her daughter just finished cancer treatment. Now this Windsor, Ont., mom is worrying about measles – CBC
Her daughter is too immunocompromised to get vaccines yet

A local parent whose child has not been able to get fully vaccinated yet says she’s fearful after public health officials confirmed a case of measles in the community.
The potentially fatal but preventable disease is caused by a highly contagious virus and has been spreading in Ontario at a rate not seen in decades. Health officials say lower vaccination rates are to blame.
Adriana Unis is a Windsor mom whose one-year-old daughter Willow recently finished cancer treatment and is too immunocompromised to get vaccines yet.
“All those serious illnesses, like the measles, would actually probably end up killing my daughter – even a fever would put her in the ER,” Unis said.”So this is all still pretty scary for us, even though the ‘scary part’ is supposed to be over.
“We now just have to be on constant alert for illnesses, fevers.”
