Hearing from a lot of folks on the Novavax issue. New today from me and my colleague ⁦@HannahAlberga⁩ For Canadians seeking a non-mRNA COVID vaccine, lack of Novavax shot is 'unfair'⁩ | Health News | https://t.co/kCIgFpfVOn https://t.co/asnUexYARp

[CAPA @CAPA_Arthritis]

Many people have reported adverse effects, such as flare-ups, to mRNA vaccines. However, the Canadian government has still chosen not to order Novavax, a non-mRNA COVID-19 vaccine.

BMC member Linda Wilhelm of @CAPA_Arthritis
calls on governments to make sure all patients can get the type of #COVID19 vaccines that are best for them - particularly immunocompromised patients: "But [if] the government doesn't give me the tools I need... then what do I do?"

[CAPA @CAPA_Arthritis]

CAPA News: Our President @LindaaWilhelm was interviewed for this article!

No Novavax COVID-19 vaccine in Canada this fall, immunocompromised N.B. woman feels 'expendable'
