Antivaxxers are planning to protest at hospitals in 10 provinces again on Monday.
Antivaxxers should NOT be allowed to protest outside hospitals, harass health workers & shame patients trying to access care.
RT if you agree

great advice for teens from Melissa @SickKidsNews!
Hey teens! #COVID19 has dragged on for more than a year, but now we have the power to get out of this together by getting vaccinated!
SickKids Children’s Council member Melissa takes you through the steps for what to expect when you get your COVID-19 vaccination. #MyCovidVax

Re-upping this PHO report because it's a testament to the power of even a 1st dose. Only 0.06% of vaccinated people became infected when they were partially vaccinated (14 days +) or fully vaccinated. Vast majority of cases are in the unvaccinated.

Yup. Still hopeful that things will settle sufficiently that kids will get a much deserved opportunity to attend summer day and overnight camps. Let’s get those numbers down and vaccinated numbers way up Ontario! – at Toronto, Ontario

The most effective way to manage procedural pain is to not order an unnecessary test in the first place!

Agree! One of my favourite sayings: 'daily bloodwork should be replaced by daily thinking!' Not just the wasted time & money, but more importantly the unnecessary needle poke, the cascade of interventions from frequent false +ve or incidentalomas. #ChoosingWisely #lessismore

Non-profit camps and camps offering subsidies have been hit the hardest by COVID-19. Without them, 1M+ kids from families that rely on financial support won’t experience camp and parents lose summer childcare. Please read below & share! #SaveCanadianCamps theglobeandmail.com/canada/a…

A huge thank you @AnnieClaireBO for bringing awareness to the dire financial situation Canadian camps are in. To survive 2020, it’s estimated that at least $100 mil government funding is needed. Please help us #SaveCanadianCamps & write to your MP/MPP to ask for their support!
Summer camps, especially
non-profit camps, face a bleak future without government aid: advocates ctvnews.ca/canada/summer-cam…
