Offering hope to those living with – or at risk of developing – mitochondrial disease through support, education, awareness and research. 💚 #MitoCanada
According to the CDC, there are no scientific studies that say vaccines cause or worsen mitochondrial diseases. We do know that certain illnesses that can be prevented by vaccines, such as the flu, can trigger the regression that is related to a mitochondrial disease. #MitoFacts
Genetic testing technology is advancing quickly, and testing options continue to improve. If you or your family members do not have a genetic diagnosis, talk to your healthcare team or a physician experienced in #mito care.💚
