This week's Pandemics in BC blog posts:
General: https://covidbc.webfoot.com/2026/02/13/2026-02-13-general/
BC: https://covidbc.webfoot.com/2026/02/13/2026-01-13-bc/

This week I had only one article about COVID-19 which I thought was interesting enough to include in the General blog. There *was* some interesting stuff for non-COVID pathogens, however.

@wdlindsy Yes, there have been! Which is why people who got a measles vaccination in the early/mid 1960s in the US should get another one!

NB: Canada didn't start vaccinating for measles until much later (1972? I forget the year), so they never vaccinated with the [less effective] dead-measles vaccine. So Canadians of a certain age, you don't have to worry.
