And requested in written form from the @PoPAlberta stream today, what can we, as individuals frustrated by the lack of systemic efforts, do to help people get vaccinated? Another thread! #COVID19AB (1/5)
At this point, it’s a one-to-one process with the unvaccinated people in our lives.
We cannot scold them, we cannot shame them, we cannot condescend to them. We have to truly be willing to listen. (2/5)

If there are barriers in their way, do whatever we can to remove those barriers. If there is genuine hesitancy standing in their way, help them find the information or the experts or the trusted people in their lives that they will listen to. (Maybe that person is you!) (3/5)
If there is complacency preventing them from doing it, make it as easy and painless as possible for them to get vaccinated. Make the appointment for them. Drive them there. Buy them a milkshake on the way home. Keep talking to them. (4/5)
Send them reliable sources of information for why they should get vaccinated. Tell them the only way to get you to stop bugging them is to get vaccinated. We’re not going to persuade everybody. But we can persuade a lot of them. We just have to be willing to do the work. (5/5)
