What is a mathematical model? @Tiff_Fitz provides a brief introduction to mathematical models for infectious diseases, including the types of insights they can offer and things to consider when interpreting their findings. https://t.co/0lQvixfiZO #epitwitter
@nirmavadlamudi@CIRN_Canada Most of our participants were safely revaccinated with a single dose or 2-step graded dose, including those with suspected anaphylaxis. 👍👍
Desensitization (5 step) was quite rarely recommended/ required... something I'm sure both individuals and providers are grateful for!
👇Very happy to share this, the culmination of *many* hours of grey lit detective work from a phenomenal @CoVaRR_Net + @nao_health team! 🤩👏

Honored to work with an all-star team on the important topic of the impact of school reopening on community levels of COVID-19. As shown by others*, our work in @Health_Affairs suggests layered community + school NPIs successfully reduced transmission in the pre-VOC era. ⤵️
The role of school closures to slow COVID-19 spread has been fiercely debated. A new study published in @Health_Affairs using @ICESOntario#data showed a small and manageable ⬆️ in COVID-19 cases after Ontario schools reopened in Jan. 2021. Read more ➡️ https://t.co/3UO8JglFYj
TL;DR: We observed a small, manageable⬆️in community COVID-19 cases after schools reopened in Ontario in early 2021, highlighting the critical role layered mitigation measures likely played in supporting safe(r) school reopenings (in a period marked by low transmission & no VOCs)
