I have heard various reasons why BC is not allowing HCWs to wear an N95 (or equivalent) while working at vaccine clinics.

But, I will submit to you that none of the arguments against N95s (or equivalents) are valid. See short thread ... 1/ Let's denote N95 (or equivalent eg. CAN-99, CN-95, KN94) = A

AND

ASTM3 surgical/medical mask = B

I support ⁦@BCNursesUnion⁩ request for appropriate PPE based on a nurses PCRA.

The PCRA does NOT require secondary approval from a supervisor to wear appropriate respiratory PPE if nurses are informed that #COVIDIsAirborne

vancouversun.com/news/local-new… BC chose to proceed with a PCRA instead of having appropriate PPE universally for all HCWs. If the province chose this path, they should apply this consistently. Why are we still stuck with droplet dogma?

BLUE = Infected
RED = Infectious subset
