This is #COVID19 in a healthy patient in their 20s. Got it from dad who is essential workers in warehouse who was exposed to co-worker. Always wore masks. Patient’s mother in ICU. This young patient is admitted and requires oxygen. This IS preventable. #PaidSickDaysSaveLives

Thanks ⁦Tai Huynh⁩ for coming by our pop up for M1J ⁦in #Scarborough. 3000 doses of vaccine given in 2 days plus another 1500 doses last week! ⁦Scarborough Health Network (SHN)⁩ rocks! Can’t wait to do many more pop ups next week. ⁦The Local Magazine⁩

Sunday morning ER shift. Saw 4 sick COVID19 patients between 7-9 am! 2 more throughout the morning. 4/6 under 50. Youngest in his 20s. 5/6 ethnic minorities. 5/6 work or exposed to someone who is essential worker. They were all so sick. I wanted to cry, my heart was breaking. 1/

It’s time to do this in a way that makes sense for once. How about something like Saskatchewan is doing:

Who is making data driven decisions at this point? Doug Ford Isaac Bogoch Shiran Isaacksz 🇨🇦 Toronto Public Health. It’s time to start second doses now! Clinics are no longer filling capacity. It’s time to pivot. Go to plazas in hard to reach areas.

Simultaneously start second doses in a common sense way. Start with those who got vaccinated prior to March 10 or over 80 like they are doing in Saskatchewan. 4/

Woman shows up at our pop up today. Asks if we can vaccinate her bedbound father who lives nearby. Dr Truong and Dr Ou-Hingwan, amazing family physicians took a vaccine and went to his apartment. Vaccinated an elderly man on home oxygen. These our our heroes. Scarborough Health Network (SHN) 1/

Late night at U of T Scarborough campus! Lots of 1st and 2nd doses given! Open until 11 pm tonight. ⁦Scarborough Health Network (SHN)⁩

So proud of all the physicians, nurses, pharmacists, clerks, and project management team who made this incredible accomplishment possible. 500 K doses of COVID19 vaccine given in #Scarborough! An absolutely incredible achievement. ⁦Scarborough Health Network (SHN)⁩ ⁦

Thank you Scarborough Health Network (SHN) for a great efficient and kid-friendly experience! Second shot done! Whole family is finally vaccinated.

Thanks Scarborough Health Network (SHN) for an amazing experience for my teens’ boosters at Birchmount clinic. Quick, efficient and most importantly kind and compassionate. My 13 yo was nervous and everyone made him feel so comfortable. Highly recommend #Scarborough clinics. North Scarborough Community Connection #FamilyDayFun

A reminder to everyone: if you have a close positive contact with COVID, you must wear a well-fitted mask for 10 days from exposure. Given my recent experience with my own family, we have constant positive contacts. Each member of my family has had a positive contact this week.1

It seems so fitting that today is #DayofPink on the 5th anniversary of my sister Mindy’s passing. She was a special education teacher in #Scarborough. Her friends and colleagues donated “Mrs Caplan’s Buddy Bench” for the playground. 1/

Great afternoon canvassing with ⁦Doly Begum⁩ in Southwest Scarborough. Healthcare definitely seemed to be a priority for most people we spoke to. Had the opportunity to discuss ⁦Ontario Medical Association⁩ Prescription for Ontario. ⁦1/

In memory of my family members who were murdered by the Nazis for being Jewish. And for my grandparents who survived the atrocities of Auschwitz. #WeWillNeverForget

Looking forward to reading “Speak-up culture”. I would encourage everyone in medical leadership to have a read and embrace it. Claire Shedletzky Andrew Petrosoniak David Carr Raghu Venugopal MD Audrey Karlinsky alan drummond @ayeletkuper Allan Grill Dr. Victor Ng, MD CCFP(EM) ICD.D Mayo Ravi 1/

Today your Jewish friends are worried about sending their kids to school as well.
