A great issue

Oh, abbreviations. Sometimes I feel like I would make a great code breaker rather than an Editor. Avoid all abbreviations unless they are internationally well-known. Overuse can make reading impossible - can read like a completely unknown language.

#Sisonke phase 2 - Johnson and Johnson booster for #Healthcareworkers wraps up in just 8 days. For goodness sake, all HCWs please go immediately to your nearest site if you haven't had your booster #NeverTooLateToVaccinate #GetVaccinatedNow #VaccinesWork

We could be mean & call the new corona variant "the Belgian variant" because it was detected there 5 days ago in a patient who had not been near southern Africa. But we know better. Give it a name, it doesn't belong to a country. Don't punish SA because our scientists are clever

Interesting implementation project on sharps injuries prevention https://t.co/QpeFxfjJlQ

Good morning to every South African who understands that if 70% of us are jabbed by 16 December, we can save ~20K lives.

That means first jabs by tomorrow, people. Hurry!

An excellent free resource

Posting that Groote Schuur graphic has been wild. Anti-vaxxers will swear a blurry screen grab of a WhatsApp message from LoneWolf69 is infallible truth, but post stats verified by the WC Health Department and they want peer reviews, retinal scans and an affidavit signed by God.

[Richard Wilkinson @wilkinsoncape]

So yesterday I tweeted out a graphic from GSH showing vaccination status of COVID patients, but was unsure of the source of that graphic and stats.

I understand now via @miamalan below that the stats are legitimate and have been confirmed by WC health.

How to influence - don’t talk about nursing, talk about the work that nurses do, step out of the shadows, develop confidence and skills in talking to the media @UOW_VC #rcnresearch21
