#Ontario residents

DYK

In several ON regions #COVID19Vaccination of people 50+ years is at least 2X slower than the Canadian average, and slower than Alberta.

Slow vaccination of people older than 50 in these regions could result in up to 7,800 preventable #COVID19 deaths.

The regions of greatest concern are:

Algoma (270 preventable deaths)
Grey Bruce (490)
Lambton (290)
Northwestern PHU (130)
Sudbury (400)
Timiskaming (60)
Toronto (6,100)

Some of these regions are small. These are a LOT of deaths for them.

Pls help everyone 50+ get vaccinated.

Here is how many vaccine-preventable #COVID19 deaths would be expected in Ontario regions over the coming 1-2 years if vaccination of people 50 and older doesn't speed up a LOT.

Estimates are based on the % of people 50 and older that were fully vaccinated Aug 21.

Here's an illustration of why speed of #COVID19Vaccination in Canada matters.

I'm trying to identify highest priority populations for discussion-based vaccine support work of @COVID_19_Canada.

One valid priority is people are most likely to die of COVID-19.

@COVID_19_Canada We're scaling up due to some much-needed funding we learned of recently, but likely won't hit our full capacity for another two months, or Nov. 1.

As we scale up we need to make sure we have in place what is needed to reach the highest priority populations by that date.

@COVID_19_Canada This is a bit tricky, because vaccination rates in some age groups may be high enough by that date that our help may not have impact.

The 12-17 age group is a great example of this in many provinces. Rates of full vaccination and speed of uptake are outpacing the 18-29s

Amid the imminent threat of a 3rd wave of COVID-19, vaccinations are becoming pertinent. However 96% of the country's population is yet to be fully vaccinated (nearly 18% has received the first dose). Here are some FAQs about COVID-19 vaccines, answered.
newsbytesapp.com/news/science/c…

Question 1: Post infection, how long should you wait to get vaccinated? Doctors recommend gaps from 1-3 months for an individual to get a shot after recovering from COVID-19. Experts say waiting to get the vaccine boosts immune response as the infection acts as a vaccine dose.

Question 2: What if you get infected between two doses? If there is exposure to COVID-19 in 1-3 weeks after receiving the 1st dose the vaccine might not have an impact. But, only a mild disease is expected if there is exposure to the virus over 3 weeks after the 1st vaccine dose.

Partner, 33 + no comorbidities, took first dose of #Covishield on Monday. Developed mild fever, unbearable headache, body pain by night, which subsisted in spite of paracetamol. He then started complaining of abdominal pain, breathlessness, tingling in arms.
@SerumInstIndia

By 4:30 am, he had puked at least 10 times. Puked twice even after he was given medicines to control nausea. After some difficulty breathing, family doctor asked us to immediately get him Avil (anti allergic) + Emerest (for nausea) injections.

Dear @MoHFW_INDIA, most of know that there are side effects but please PUBLISIZE and EDUCATE that something like this can happen too (for whatever reasons/allergies) so that people are prepared to deal with it.
