Dear Bridgepoint Family Health Team Patient:
As you may or may not be aware, there has been a recent outbreak of Mumps in
Toronto.
Currently, Toronto Public Health is recommending that those born between 1970
and 1992 receive a mumps vaccine booster. We are extending this letter to those
born up to 1995 as our records indicate that you may be missing the Measles,
Mumps, and Rubella booster vaccine.
We invite those born between 1970 and 1995 to schedule a vaccine at
Bridgepoint. While it is not mandatory, we would encourage you to bring with
you any previous immunization records you might have. If you are unable to
attend during these clinic times, please feel free to call the Bridgepoint Family
Health Team at 416-470-6690 to book an appointment at your convenience.
Please also keep an eye on our web site, as we may add more clinic dates as
needed.
If you are pregnant, you will have to wait to have the vaccine until after you have
given birth. If you are trying to get pregnant, you must wait one month after
receiving the vaccine to conceive.
If you would like more information regarding the Mumps outbreak, please visit
the Toronto Public Health web site:
