Watching for West Nile Virus - Giving You the Information to Protect Yourself |
|
|
|
- As the weather improves and spring approaches, the doctors of Ontario
want to prepare you with the information that you need to protect yourself
from the West Nile Virus.
- While the chances of infection and serious illness are low, the relative
few who are infected and develop West Nile Encephalitis or Meningitis
become seriously and sometimes critically ill.
- Your local public health agencies are working hard to get preventative
and comprehensive information out to the people in your community.
- The OMA wants to help you get access to the information that you need.
