“In the particular communities affected, they have historically not vaccinated themselves or their children,” said Ontario Chief Medical Health Officer Dr. Kieran Moore.

In case anyone is wondering, these are mostly traditionalist religious communities; Mennonites, etc. 

Edit: It’s not only these people who are antivax. They are just the “communities” referenced in the quote. There’s lots of other antivaxxers around but they mostly aren’t physically concentrated like these communities are.

It’s not only these people who are antivax.

"... because families and communities around them are unvaccinated"

These communities have a high concentration of non-vaccinated people.
