Thirty-nine migrant workers in Forest rolled up their sleeves for a measles vaccine.
Lambton Public Health and the North Lambton Community Health Centre held a vaccine clinic at Roeland Plant farms to protect the farm workers.

Officias say the free measles vaccinations on the farm July 16 are part of an effort to make health care more accessible and supportive preventative care for the migrant workers.
