How's my policy?

[Allison Smith @QueensParkToday]

The province made a huge change to vaccine rules without making an announcement or issuing a press release. Anyone 18+ can now get a Moderna/Pfizer vaccine at a participating pharmacy.

[ON] No OHIP? No problem Call 416-760-8677

[Joe Cressy @joe_cressy]

Toronto is partnering with @RefugeeCentre and @AccessAlliance to help people without an OHIP card book COVID-19 vaccine appointments at our City-run clinics.
Contact information for both agencies and to book appointments is here: https://t.co/dYnZ5wUpV9

2. If you're in a position to give, all donations go to Ontario #essentialworkers who have lost wage due to #COVID19.

@dhunnasim Really sorry to hear this, Simran. I hope they recover soon and with ease.

[Colin D'Mello | Global News @ColinDMello]

BREAKING: Ontario will allow people aged 18+ to get the COVID-19 vaccine in hot spot communities via mobile teams, faith based locations, and on-site with large employers.

Ramadan is in a week 🕌
A super simple thread for anyone who wants to learn more about it and support their Muslim friends/colleagues who are fasting ⬇️

[Michael Warner @drmwarner]

This needs to happen today.

[Evy Kwong @EVYSTADIUM]

All overnight healthcare pulled from #Pikangikum (pop 4000) over *safety* of health staff after OPP expelled from the first nation bc of allegations of sexual misconduct... What @NankyRai said!👇

Tell @Min_IndServ to reinstate overnight care.

Pharmacies offering vaccine vs COVID-19 hot spots. Thanks @LaurenPelley @CBCLorenda for the idea for this map.

[Kira Kastner, MPH @kirakastner]

@ananya_tb @mcgillu @McGill_SPGH @McGillEBOH @UofT_dlsph Such great news!

[Ahmed Ali @DrAhmednurAli]

Would you mind if vaccines were provided 24/7, even if it meant you might have to get your vaccine at 3 am?

I wouldn't and I think most Ontarians wouldn't mind either.

Anytime. Any place.

RT if you support 24/7 vaccinations.
Trying to prove a point.

[Naheed Dosani @NaheedD]

#BREAKING: Ontario just announced that vaccinating people experiencing homelessness is now part of its Phase 1 priority for vaccinations.

This population is 5 times more likely to die from #COVID19.

This move will save lives 🙏🏾.

[Naheed Dosani @NaheedD]

🚨 25% OF WORKERS SURVEYED IN PEEL REGION ARE GOING INTO WORK SICK WITH #COVID19 🚨

People shouldn't have to choose between their health and paying their bills.

RT if you agree that we need paid sick leave, now.

[Farrah Khan @farrahsafiakhan]

Sending love to Muslim communities across Canada especially the Islamic Cultural Centre of Quebec City community. Today is the fourth anniversary of the Quebec mosque shooting that killed six men and injured many others. We have so much more to do to address violent hate.

[Naheed Dosani @NaheedD]

BREAKING: 77% of #COVID19 cases in Toronto (until Oct 31/20) have occurred in racialized people. 70% of those hospitalized were also racialized.

With racialized people making up only 52% of the population, this virus isn't impacting us equally.

We need equity-driven policy now.

[Naheed Dosani @NaheedD]

People are much more likely to be able to 'stay home' if they can take paid sick leave without fear of losing their jobs or future income.

Please, provide paid sick leave.

[#1492LandBackLane @1492LBL]

We are very concerned about the impending lock down cutting our camp off from much needed supplies. If you are able to do a socially distant supply run, please let us know.

Supplies needed at #1492LandBackLane:

bottled water
Thermal socks
Blankets
Sweaters
Hair brushes
