To everyone who lives, works, is an essential caregiver in #Canadian long-term care, retirement homes
If you have ANY questions about safety of the #COVID19 vaccines, we (I, doctors, pharmacists, scientists) have nightly Zoom Q&A sessions (see below).
#Canadian scientists, science communicators, HCPs who vaccinate and is scientifically knowledgeable about #COVID19 vaccines
Are you frustrated by slow vaccination rates, vaccines being thrown out? Do you want to help now?
There one very big way we can help now.
Many HCWs scheduled to be vaccinated now are nervous about the vaccine and would like to be able to talk to knowledgeable experts and have supportive, non-judgemental discussions.
It is incredibly important that we provide support and information and conversation about the COVID vaccines to people who live, work in & visit long-term care and retirement homes in Canada. And we need to do it NOW.
Do you work, live in or visit a long-term/personal care or retirement home in #Canada, or do you know someone who does?
Are you worried about whether the #COVID19 vaccines are safe, and if you should take them?
If so, I'm starting a nightly Zoom session to answer questions.
If you'd like the link to attend, please email me: tara.moriarty(at)utoronto.ca.
If a lot of people want to attend, my first priority right now is people associated w/ LTC/retirement homes.
Je suis (pas mal) bilingue. Alors, je suis capable de discuter en francais.
I'll do the sessions at 8 p.m. Eastern time, so it's not too late for Atlantic folks, but also late enough for many people on the West coast to be home from shifts. I'll do the sessions on weekends too so that as many people as possible can attend.
