141 in ICUs in BC hospitals. season 3 of the pandemic is not over as much as we want it to be. Support your health care workers.

Please remember to support our health care workers.

A reminder for all of us to keep our cool and focus on respect for our fellow citizens. Thank you Zain Chagla for your insight and knowledge.

Our health care system in BC needs focus and support. Just like our efforts to get vaccines out, our collective energy can bring the change in BC health care. André Picard

Although New York City quite a distance away from BC, the recommendation is sound : the polio vaccine will keep your children safe from a horrific disease #vaccinesmatter #bchealth

More evidence that vaccination against Covid-19 reduces transmission. Not to zero, but substantially. Boosters/recent vaccination reduce risk the most. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

My joint statement with Dr. Bonnie Henry on the approval of a new bivalent COVID-19 vaccine: news.gov.bc.ca/27400

Let’s plan for BC to be Covid manageable with these guidelines: 1. Vaccinate 2. Use Covid treatments 3. Ensure quality inside ventilation is in place 4. Restart Public reporting 5. Use home tests

UBC is grateful that the Province of BC has increased support to the university to allow expansion of an additional 40 MD and 88 postgraduate training seats to the UBC Faculty of Medicine

Hey Team BC, be like Ian Hanomansing this fall. 🤩🍁🍂 Time for vaccine boosters as we head into cold season. Stay safe & change your oil filter while you are at it. #bingobangobongo

Get your vax and mask up. If you feel sick, test. If elderly/high risk and Covid+, get to doctor fast for Paxlovid. I’m #covidcareful & passed it on to elderly relatives. Paxlovid helps high risk & needs to be used immediately to reduce hospitalization.

NEW - Dr. Deena Hinshaw has been hired on a six-month contract as British Columbia’s deputy provincial health officer. Hinshaw previously served as Alberta’s provincial health officer during the COVID pandemic. #bcpoli
