(I know it can be a challenge to stay up to date with lots of new information & questions! As I am currently "studying" for a Facebook Live tomorrow...)

Incredible to see low PM in all classrooms across San Diego Unified School District due to ventilation and filtration efforts to clean indoor air!! So proud of @sdschools leading the way in showing it is possible to protect the health of our kids and those that teach them.

1/2 The hot-spot vaccine strategy is working!
Is there any jurisdiction in the world with better performance than Ontario? — In terms of effectiveness (high-risk first) and equity (disadvantaged first).
Much better than March.

@kochen_michael Ontario’s current plan is to vaccinate everyone once, then start over again for the second vaccine. In this context, health care workers caring directly for COVID patients should be prioritized for early 2nd vaccination.

[Lise M. Bjerre, MDCM, PhD, CCFP / CCFM @LiseBjerre]

Happy to be doing my part advocating for early second vaccination of front-line staff caring directly for COVID patients. See bottom section and last photo of this Radio-Canada/CBC article. https://t.co/hvef4enbi5
