With only 28% of the world having received a 1st dose of a #COVID19vaccine so far, letting ANY doses expire would be egregiously wrong on so many levels.
#Canada thankfully now has more than we need to fully vaccinate everyone 12 and up. We should donate our excess doses ASAP.
TORONTO -- Ontario pharmacists say thousands of doses of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine are set to expire soon and they warn the supply could go to waste if people don't show up to get a shot 👇🏼

The question that so many of us are asking these days: After 18 months of lockdowns and isolation, we'd hoped that #COVID19vaccines would bring us close to the end of the pandemic by now. But then the #DeltaVariant hit, and now there's no end in sight.

These are US poll numbers, but I suspect they'd be quite similar here in #Canada. Top 3 actionable takeaways:
1. Allow GPs to vaccinate their patients.
2. Require proof of vaccination to fly domestically.
3. Provide free transportation to vaccination sites.
Requiring proof of vaccination to fly could do a lot to improve our vaccination numbers, and it would be easy to implement it

Alberta goes full on 1984 in #covid19 denialism: "We were always at war with Eastasia".
L'Alberta a demandé d'enlever toutes les affiches portant sur la COVID. En particulier, celles portant sur la distanciation et le port du masque alors que Delta s'impose.
