Information
Canadian Health Ministry spokesman Vivien Didier stated yesterday on Canadian television that both houses of Parliament are reviewing the National Immunization Strategy (MIS) initiative to make Meningitis and Hepatitis A vaccination obligatory in all Canadian public and private schools.
Since 2003, the National Immunization Strategy has assisted the vaccination program planning in Canada by bringing immunization issues to the forefront of the Canadian public health agenda. It is noted in the press that this initiative is also backed and lobbied by Sanofi Pasteur, Canada’s largest preventable diseases vaccination company, developers of a number of well-known immunization shots like Vivaxim, Adacel, Menactra or Immucyst.
Political reviewers in Toronto Star assess the probability of its endorsement as “reasonably high” and expect the initiative to be approved in the first reading. No exact financing figures for it are specified. The initiative is scheduled for discussion in Ottawa in the first week of May and if approved may go in effect in September 2008 with the new schoolyear.

SKIPPING breakfast and snacking on sugary and fatty foods could be fuelling Britain’s rising obesity rates among the under 25s. A new survey commissioned by Cancer Research UK into the nation’s breakfast habits discovered that nearly half the 16-24 age group miss breakfast – the first and most important meal of the day – at least twice a week.
The survey, commissioned to raise awareness of the charity’s annual Britain’s Biggest Breakfast campaign, also showed that 85 per cent of under 25s questioned admitted to snacking, with fatty and sugary foods, such as crisps, biscuits, cakes and sweets favourites to keep mid-morning hunger at bay.
Professor Jane Wardle, director of Cancer Research UK’s health behaviour research centre, said: “There is still widespread ignorance that being overweight or obese increases the risk of a number of cancers.
