@jonimitchell thank you for being a great proponent for vaccines. Enjoy the beautiful Sunshine Coast. We love your words, music and strong belief in doing the right things for the greater good.

[Vaccine Hunters BC @VaxHuntersBC]

@StreamerDarkly Interesting response. I was talking about how to combat well organized disinformation programs. Can you clarify your comment?

[Vaccine Hunters BC @VaxHuntersBC]

Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I do! #MyTwitterAnniversary

@CBCStephenQuinn It certainly sucks when you get it. Not many Covid-19 unicorns out there. Keep well as you can.

NEW - Dr. Deena Hinshaw has been hired on a six-month contract as British Columbia’s deputy provincial health officer. Hinshaw previously served as Alberta’s provincial health officer during the COVID pandemic. #bcpoli

@SashaBDoodle You are not alone in having difficulty finding a flu vaccine appt. I will keep my eyes peeled for some hot tips!

@MoriartyLab @picardonhealth @twpiggott @mustafahirji @RajBhardwajMD @JillianHortonMD @LabradorIce @AntibioticDoc @CPHO_Canada @KrishanaSankar @LisaBarrettID I was one of them. I have been careful but not over the top and got it. Likely from air travel. So few masks in airports.

[Vaccine Hunters BC @VaxHuntersBC]

Get your vax and mask up.
If you feel sick, test.

If elderly/high risk and Covid+, get to doctor fast for Paxlovid.

I’m #covidcareful & passed it on to elderly relatives.

Paxlovid helps high risk & needs to be used immediately to reduce hospitalization.

Hey Team BC, be like @ianhanomansing this fall. 🤩🍁🍂 Time for vaccine boosters as we head into cold season. Stay safe & change your oil filter while you are at it. #bingobangobongo

[Ian Hanomansing @ianhanomansing]

Quick visit to my neighbourhood pharmacy. Bivalent Covid vaccine, flu shot, oil filter. Good for another 5000 kms.

[Benoit-Antoine Bacon @ubcprez]

UBC is grateful that the Province of BC has increased support to the university to allow expansion of an additional 40 MD and 88 postgraduate training seats to the UBC Faculty of Medicine

Let’s plan for BC to be Covid manageable with these guidelines: 1. Vaccinate 2. Use Covid treatments 3. Ensure quality inside ventilation is in place 4. Restart Public reporting 5. Use home tests

[André Picard @picardonhealth]

‘COVID Zero’ is impossible this fall. But ‘COVID Manageable’ is within reach. We need nuanced measures to minimize hospitalizations while making normal life possible and sustainable: @globeandmail editorial https://t.co/lPZldlAGEr #COVID19

My joint statement with Dr. Bonnie Henry on the approval of a new bivalent COVID-19 vaccine:

More to come on BC’s vaccine guidance. In the meantime, the pandemic continues & there are still stretched BC health services. #CovidIsNotOver

[André Picard @picardonhealth]

Health Canada approves updated Moderna vaccine for Omicron variant. Company will supply 12 million doses of tweaked vaccine, which is said to be 'significantly' more effective against Omicron. https://t.co/FR5VNPKvDf via @cbcnews @LaurenPelley #COVID19 #vaccination

[Irfan Dhalla @IrfanDhalla]

More evidence that vaccination against Covid-19 reduces transmission. Not to zero, but substantially. Boosters/recent vaccination reduce risk the most. https://t.co/uX296HJ0Va

The idea of greater good is embodied by Terry Fox and his foundation is a profound legacy for this BC boy.

[Terry Fox Foundation @TerryFoxCanada]

#OnThisDay – August 21, 1980

As Terry rested near Marathon, ON, a group of construction workers learned that Terry was heading their way. Wanting to ensure a stable surface for Terry, they decided to work through the night to pave the road.

Although New York City quite a distance away from BC, the recommendation is sound : the polio vaccine will keep your children safe from a horrific disease #vaccinesmatter #bchealth

[André Picard @picardonhealth]

#Polio Is Worrying Parents. Doctors Say Vaccination Is the Answer. Poliovirus has been detected in New York City wastewater, but children with up-to-date #vaccination should be OK, pediatricians said, by @sharonNYT @nateschweber https://t.co/b9TtOBdo5G via @nytimes #pediatrics

[Vaccine Hunters BC @VaxHuntersBC]

Our health care system in BC needs focus and support. Just like our efforts to get vaccines out, our collective energy can bring the change in BC health care. @picardonhealth
