Grateful to have worked with this great team to study the impact of COVID-19 on routine childhood immunization coverage in the GTA. More to come as we expand our study to other routine immunizations! @UofTFamilyMed @TOPublicHealth @UHN_Research @SickKidsNews

Out today. Our paper led by @cathji showing decreased #vaccine rates in kids 12–18m during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our earlier work in CMAJ was a signal. This is a foghorn. We need a plan to catch kids up. #Pediatrics https://t.co/rnbfWu39Vz

Our paper showed that immunization coverage decreased significantly for 12-18m old children in the early pandemic and only partially recovered since. We also highlighted some baseline coverage disparities #SDOH : https://t.co/Dxr1vzvo6K

Although the number of visits to family physicians decreased early in the #COVID19 pandemic in Ontario, patients from communities with low socioeconomic status did not seem to be disproportionately affected: https://t.co/BQfeMpfMsa

Why haven’t primary care doctors been part of the vaccine rollout? @AlisonMotluk searches for answers in her latest piece in @thelocalhealth.

[Abdu Sharkawy @SharkawyMD]

A lot of anxiety & trust called into question re the "AZ expired but not expired" story. It's not the same as a best before date on a milk carton. It's based on batch testing. It's actual science & math. Let me try to explain 1/

[Michael Warner @drmwarner]

Elderly prioritized for timely 2nd shot is a good plan.

However, as essential workers were one of the last groups to receive shot #1, queuing will delay them receiving shot#2.

If supply allows, those with high exposure risk should be moved up to receive shot#2 after elderly.
