@AliceYYCheng@PeterLinMD Dr Lin’s analogies are the best! I often listen to the segments online after hearing them on the radio. I appreciate his work so much.
@justjbates I believe your role has changed, but are you able to share when pharmacies will receive doses for under 5? The PHU said to check pharmacies and none of the regional ones have it/know if they’re getting it. Thank you!
@MaryFernando_ The other piece is that “It’s just a cold” has been propagated. More people need to [better] appreciate the origins of chronic health issues.
@MaryFernando_ Thank you for amplifying the “why” (i.e., long-term sequelae). If more people considered what it could do to the children in their lives (who will have more exposures than they will), or to themselves, there would be more uptake in ⬇️ing impact. The why msg has been lacking.
@Ptbohealth@twpiggott Just spoke to a very helpful person at your office who told me there’s a note in your system that says the online booking system isn’t available for under 5s, yet. Thank you for having that note as the Ministry site doesn’t indicate that. Appreciate your help.
@Ptbohealth@twpiggott When trying to book under 5’s online, it says they aren’t eligible. Is there a work-around to book them into Ptbo? Pharmacies don’t have the doses. Thank you!
@SharkawyMD Are the high-risk under 5 group more widely available now than last week? I’m hoping that’s the case after the weekend’s announcement. No pharmacies had pedi doses locally last week. HU not until mid-November.
@deonandan Or going to an appointment where almost everyone is coughing & there are no masks in sight for those not wearing them. The receptionist told people as they registered that if they had a cough they needed to wear a mask & gave one. 🤯 I opened the door & was told the heat was on…
@cjdenial What a beautiful cover and idea! It’s so unfortunate that this even needs to be a conversation, but it’s obviously necessary based on the state of the world and the signs posted everywhere.
