Happy #AprilFoolsDay! Don't get fooled by #SARSCoV2 and get your COVID vaccines, especially your booster shot if you haven't already! #CovidIsNotOver

"I'm worried that the mRNA vaccine will alter my DNA" - Do you share this concern? FYI, this is a myth but there are other options available: the AstraZeneca and Jansen (J&J) vaccines contain an inactive and harmless version of the virus! Both are approved in CA. #CovidIsNotOver

(4/4) It is still unclear by how much the vaccine reduces transmission and for how long this effect lasts. Nonetheless, the booster can help to further reduce transmission and help reach herd immunity.

(1/4) As of March 20, 2022, only 47% of Canada's population is fully vaccinated with an additional dose. With a 6th wave coming in August or September, according to Health Minister Christian Dubé, it's important to get your booster shot for several reasons!

Getting young people between the ages of 5-17 years vaccinated also caps outbreaks and limits classroom closures which ultimately facilities students' success! #GetVaccinated #GetVaccinatedNow

We do everything we can to keep our kids safe. How can the COVID-19 vaccine help protect them? COVID-19 vaccines can help keep children safe from severe illness and potential long-term effects of the virus. Book your child’s COVID-19 vaccine.

Happy #Holi! This joyous holiday is aka the #FestivalOfcolors , the Festival of Spring, or the Festival of Love. Holi marks the 1st day of spring and is celebrated in March, aligning to the Hindu calendar month of Phalguna. It is also symbolic of the triumph of good over evil.

[WeCanVax @wecanvax]

We can’t forget that the pandemic still exists amidst other global events currently occurring. Make sure to get vaccinated, if you haven’t already, and stay safe!

6) Among 3000 vaccinated children between 5-11 years during clinical trials, no cases of myocarditis or pericarditis were reported.

During the February Vaccine Clinic in Park-Extension, we provided colouring pages for kids to make getting a #CovidVaccine less intimidating! This was inspired by @OttawaHealth. Getting our youth vaccinated is important for several reasons! #CovidIsNotOver

[WeCanVax @wecanvax]

5) Systemic reactions from the vaccine (such as fever, fatigue, headache, and muscle pain) are uncommon, and even less common with the paediatric dose given to 5-11 year-olds.
