Excited to share this video primer on ID math models that I had the pleasure of creating with @ed4socialchange & @SueBondyUoT! @UofT_dlsph

[U of T Public Health @UofT_dlsph]

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!

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. ⤵️

[ICES @ICESOntario]

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

[Tiffany Fitzpatrick, PhD MPH @Tiff_Fitz]

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)
