Influenza A … “will continue to circulate for several weeks, with the possibility of more spread during the holiday period. A secondary wave due to influenza B also sometimes follows later in the season. If you have not yet been vaccinated against influenza, now is the time.”

Well, we wrote a piece.... Heartfelt, and hope it does some small amount of good.

I don’t tweet much but I am moved to say that Dr. Yui has been the leader who championed Indigenous Health in AHS. Genuine grace in the hardest of times. I will miss you Verna Yui.

2️⃣ in 5️⃣ health and care workers globally are fully vaccinated. But of course, that average masks huge differences across regions and economic groupings"-@DrTedros #VaccinEquity #SupportHealthCareWorkers

Thanksgiving weekend-a time for gratitude. The pandemic has been utterly devastating - so I am thankful for the science and hard work behind COVID vaccines.

I like this recommendation, @thisisourshotca- book yours, or if you have already, reach out and help someone who hasn’t.

[Robyn Harrison @RobynA_Harrison]

AHS, the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta, the Alberta Medical Association and the medical faculties at the Universities of Alberta and Calgary are all on the same page. Obtain your vaccine with confidence and help a friend to do the same.
