A) "Everyone will be exposed to Omicron"
B) "Everyone will get Omicron"
They're different. (A) promotes appropriate caution till surge ends: boost, N95, outdoor>indoor. (B) promotes counterproductive behavior as hospitals are overwhelmed.

Biggest difference: A is true. B is not.

Several Sobeys/Lawtons in the St. John's metro area still have availability for 1st, 2nd, or 3rd/booster covid doses! Check out https://t.co/Ic4516dNAp

@FureyAndrew just an FYI, many pharmacies ARE booking appointments to manage the massive influx of people looking for boosters. We typically don't have the staffing to adequately manage walk-ins AND continue to operate our pharmacies as usual. Just saying. https://t.co/EbNEhhR0IB

@ivanculum A4: Agree about individual autonomy related to health and benefits of tailored services. But if some services are user-pay then, as @MariaBeeRN and @IamKateSau stated, improved health outcomes may be limited to those who can afford it. Balance is key. #futuehealth #mhst601

[Sarah Shallow @shallow_sarah]

@ivanculum A3: Funding. In order to implement services at the community pharmacy level or to expand scope of practice, one major question is always 'who is going to pay for this service?'. User-pay models limit access and impact based on client affordability. #futurehealth #mhst601

[Sarah Shallow @shallow_sarah]

@ivanculum A1: Allowing pharmacists to have a more expanded scope to independently or collaboratively manage chronic diseases. #msht601 #futurehealth Studies have shown that there is significant improvement in health outcomes: https://t.co/VGWIG1FuE8

@TaniaWalstra Thank you - I have to give credit to my husband who helped me come up with it!

Researching models of health and how different #levelsofinfluence contribute to the management of type 2 diabetes in NL. Check out my resources on health models here: https://t.co/FcIc3DjZcv

Release; “The Newfoundland and Labrador Medical Association is calling for mandatory COVID-19 vaccinations for all health care workers. The NLMA joins other national and provincial health care organizations that have called for mandatory vaccines for health care workers.” #nlpoli

[Sarah Shallow @shallow_sarah]

Just sharing for any fellow healthcare providers who are giving #covid19 vaccines 😊

[Isaac Bogoch @BogochIsaac]

Canada's National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) now recommends no need to space out #COVID19 vaccines from other vaccines (e.g. upcoming flu shots).

This seems reasonable/safe, and will make for a far easier covid/flu shot campaign this fall.

@jen_kildare Well done! @jen_kildare 👏

An inaccurate Canadian study suggesting an extremely high rate of heart inflammation after COVID-19 vaccines has been retracted due to a major mathematical error. https://t.co/z9oWtWcVy2
