All three were recently admitted to my ICU after acquiring #COVID on the job.

None had convenient access to vaccination.

Bring vaccines to workplaces.

Fully vaccinate those with high exposure risk on schedule.

[Abdu Sharkawy @SharkawyMD]

There ARE problems with vaccine supply. But when there's plenty at a pharmacy in an upscale neighborhood & zero at a hot zone community centre in the same city at the same time...that's not supply. That's misallocation. That's unforgiveable. #EquityMatters

[Darren Markland @drdagly]

The Covid situation in Ontario is making people pretty jumpy, so let’s focus on some positives.
- GenX showed up like crazy for their vaccination
- Our elderly are vaccinated
- We have had a 2 week head start
- Our population is younger
- We have lower population density.

I will never understand how the masks-prevent-oxygenation lie took off. So many people have seen doctors and nurses and RTs wearing masks. They see actors wearing them in medical shows. I think about this almost everyday.

[SOGC @SOGCorg]

The SOGC supports the use of all available COVID-19 vaccines approved in Canada in any trimester of pregnancy and during breastfeeding in accordance with regional eligibility. For more information, read our statement: https://t.co/eYRQsIRqut

More powers for police won’t stop this virus.
Vaccines and paid sick leave will.

Where is our military? It is structured to act quickly in crisis. I’d rather see our military leading through this tragic phase than politicians who have demonstrated they are unfit for the task. We should be using the talent & resources at our disposal. https://t.co/HFby0Y58TZ

Your reminder that public health workers are overworked, abused, and largely muzzled. If you're frustrated by things, please reserve your anger for the decision makers at the very top (and for those sowing disinformation), not for the folks desperately trying to hold us together.

.@CBCNews' story highlights our call for the Ontario government to immediately implement a complete lockdown with a curfew, redefine essential services to only food + medications & vaccinate on-site hotspots and essential workers.

[Dr. Amit Arya @AmitAryaMD]

The Ontario government's #COVID19 playbook:

1. Tell people to stay home when so many can't
2. Ignore experts including their own Science Table
3. Fail to accept criticism & quickly learn from mistakes

The Ontario government must end this ineptitude and act today.

[Toronto Star @TorontoStar]

Pre-registering all Ontarians right away for the COVID-19 vaccine could help with supply problems, hesitancy, councillor and health experts say.

Today on #WorldHealthDay, we're reminding you to remain vigilant in protecting yourself & others from #COVID19 and its variants.

The best way to show nurses & other health professionals you're grateful for their dedication to care is by staying home & staying safe.

BREAKING: Anyone 18+ in "hot spot neighbourhoods" will soon be able to get vaccinated in Ontario, as province plans to roll out mobile teams to administer shots in high-risk congregate settings, residential buildings, faith-based locations, large employers.
