The parents should be charged with manslaughter if the child was old enough to receive the vaccine.
11 years without a death in Ontario. Now these fuckwits who think they know as much as a doctor who studied this shit are going to get more people killed.
The kid was five
First measles shot (as part of MMRV) is 12 months, the second is ~18 months, but varies by province. You can get a dose as early as six months, but the child will still need to follow the standard timeline after this additional dose.
In Ontario, MMR is at 12 months and varicella (chickenpox) is separate at 15 months.
Other provinces, territories and states in Canada/US have variations and some include MMRV instead of MMR followed by Varicella.
MMRV is scheduled routinely at age 4-6.
An overview of the routine childhood schedule can be seen here.
The full ontario schedule can be found here, with the routine childhood schedule being on page 3.
By the way for anyone wondering why bother vaccinate against chickenpox, it's because chickenpox and shingles are the same thing. If you never get chickenpox you never get shingles. Shingles fucking sucks and causes blindness, untreatable pain and other miseries.
Also chicken pox sucks. If they made a vaccine for hand, foot, and mouth, I'd get my kids vaccinated and that's mild compared to chicken pox.
