After spending almost 5 hours on phone, bouncing between multiple agents, my calls were disconnected without resolution!! The only way to reach anyone is by call and no one seems to care! Will be taking my banking needs elsewhere with a brick and mortar site!

As we move into flu season (and hopefully one day COVID-19 vaccination season), sharing this excellent paper in @CPJ_RPC on vaccine hesitancy. We all need to be reminded of how to have conversations with those who are hesitant to vaccinate. @PAS_SK https://t.co/XSOTcrJrQK

@miramaximos Thank you for the RT!
Our complementary findings on the community pharmacists' experiences with influenza vaccine hesitancy are published in this paper.

@DanyaalRaza @Lorian_H Dr. Raza, can you please share the reference you used to make this statement in your brief at the House of Commons (HESA-74)?

"...between 5% and 6% of hospitalizations in Canada are a result of non-adherence to prescriptions, costing us approximately $1.6 billion per year"

New podcast "The Pharmacists Are In" re role of #Pharmacists in addressing #vaccine hesitancy

@SherilynHoule reassures patients: “I’m not recommending something for you that I haven’t also put in myself”.

Hope to see @OntPharmacists gain access to high-dose #flu #vaccine (HD-TIV) to help protect #adults >65 yrs in 'very difficult' flu season ahead

Positive sign: @ONThealth has ordered 300,000 more doses of HD-TIV (1.2 M) for 2019/2020 than last season @celliottability

As we continue our transition to being a service-driven profession, the introduction of novel clinical services and the restructuring of existing remuneration models is fundamental to creating a sustainable change. @UWPharmacy @OntPharmacists @CPhAAPhC

IN PRESS: Flu vaccine uptake in Ontario, Canada remains low despite free availability. Paying #pharmacists for flu vaccine consultation services was a cost-effective solution to increase vaccine uptake in older adults. 🇨🇦
