The article ⬇️ by @PSwadden highlights the overcrowded ER situation in Ontario. It also suggests primary care providers are not seeing enough patients in person. Since no Family MD or nurse practitioner were interviewed, here are my thoughts: A 🧵. https://t.co/JnpBseOLn4 1/17
@NightShiftMD Perhaps we should hold a ‘Scrub In’ - everyone not working over the weekend just show up on university ave in our scrubs to show support?
I’m vaccinating at the @YorkRegionGovt@MSHospital#CovidVaccine clinic located at Cornell community centre today in Markham. We are talking walk in appointments for Moderna for age 30 and older (1st, 2nd and booster doses). Please spread the word & come visit us. @frankscarpitti
Low peds vax uptake: Decided it was time to reach out to parents in my practice, encourage those with 0 vaccines to get 1st dose, and inform those with 1 dose how to get an early second dose. Within 40 minutes of sending, one youngster already got his 2nd pfizer!
Good evening,
Like you, I want schools open. For this to happen, the people operating them must be protected. On Sunday January 9th, Lawlor Pharmacy will be hosting another teacher/ECE/school staff vaccination day by appointment:

Shout out to members of the @YorkRegionGovt community for coming to the EYRND OHT #covid19 vaccine clinic today. We vaccinated 1000 adults with booster/3rd doses and it was great to be busy! Nice to work alongside some Markham FHT colleagues to boot! @MSHospital @jmarrMSH @afhto
Let’s recapture the enthusiasm of the spring! When you are eligible please sign up for your third dose. Let’s learn the lessons provided by others and avoid the disaster that much of Europe is facing.
Shout out to @MSHospital, EYRND OHT & @YorkRegionGovt, for reopening our mass #COVID19Vaccination clinic. Today I worked alongside my family MD colleague @JeffWeissberger giving 1st, 2nd & booster doses. Shots for kids 5-11 start next week. Register here: https://t.co/sx5SkZkLM0
Very proud of my good friend and colleague @allan_k_grillMD for being recognized by @OntarioCollege for truly incredible work through the pandemic and beyond! Well deserved my friend!
Today @MSHospital Covid Vaccine clinic downsized, but still going strong. Lots of first doses today, reasons:
Born in 2009
Need to for work
Want to for travel
Mandates/passports work. Let’s go Ontario!
A village has 100 people.
99 of them vaccinated. 1 is not.
2 people become sick with Covid, 1 of whom is the unvaccinated person.
Media: “50% of cases occurred in the vaccinated!!”
This is what we’re seeing, and it’s irresponsible reporting.
Happy #NationalChickenWingDay ! No better place to celebrate than @bistro_on - best wings, topped off by intelligent Covid policies! @DeliSterns was an added bonus-thanks for making my teen’s day!
🚨 ATTENTION 🚨Getting fully vaccinated just got even easier! Starting Wednesday, July 21 most #YorkRegion#COVID19 vaccine clinics will be accepting walk-ins for BOTH first and second doses. Learn more: https://t.co/mOSlzcOYdB (1/3)
