Humbled to have my 1st @GovCanHealth #grant paper out in @BMJ_Open! This was one of a kind #culturallyspecific #KT study that aimed to improve #vaccine confidence in #southasians from #GTHA. S/o to best co-first authors @NonPlainJane @archchun & dream team https://t.co/pJLAg4UKEx

#measles serosurveys can compliment vaccine coverage and surveillance data to estimate population immunity in #LMICS. But decision tools are needed to assess when they should be used. @NSCrowcroft

A call out from the Canadian South Asian Research community for #VaccineEquity

Please read our open letter published in @macleans
calling our government to support #TRIPSwaiver #COVAX and #CTAP.

@lidsinc @TorontoStar Also, if we look at the data by older age groups (80+ years) who were targeted in phase 1, only 50% were vaccinated in the most affected neighborhoods while 70% were vaccinated in the least affected neighborhoods. So, there are other factors at play.

[Archchun Ariyarajah @archchun]

Very telling maps from @TorontoStar that show that people living in neighborhoods hardest hit by COVID-19 are least likely to be vaccinated.

[Archchun Ariyarajah @archchun]

@lidsinc @TorontoStar That might partially explain it. However, I don’t think we can assume that most healthcare workers live in high-income neighborhoods.

[Isha Berry @ishaberry2]

How can we best support #GlobalHealth trainees for tackling the climate crisis?

@hellohaldane and I report key points raised *by* trainees *for* trainees at our @ELESHToronto workshop at the @CSIH_ conference in the latest @TheLancetPlanet 🌍🌿

For those interested, this is the National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) guidance document for the prioritization of initial doses of #COVID19 vaccine(s):

-Long term care
-Healthcare workers
-Indigenous communities
-Age >80, then >70 yrs

Disruption to routine immunization programs globally during the COVID-19 pandemic will put us at risk for future outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases like measles

@ed4socialchange Thank you and the whole team @VectorInst & at the Centre for Global Health for organizing. It was a great learning experience!

[Archchun Ariyarajah @archchun]

Congratulations @NSCrowcroft on your new position @WHO! Sad to see you leave, but happy that the world gets to have you fight measles and rubella globally!

[Adalsteinn (Steini) Brown @SteiniBrown]

Congratulations to Natasha Crowcroft (@NSCrowcroft) on her new role, @WHO Senior Technical Advisor - Measles & Rubella Control. We look forward to her continued engagement with @UofT_dlsph's Centre for Vaccine Preventable Diseases Centre in her new post.
