This is so disheartening. #HealthCanada just continues to drop the ball on combatting #covid.

This is beyond infuriating, and it’s all because of shady deals #Canada made with #Pfizer and #Moderna.

#Novavax is the only vaccine my #immunocompromised #bced k-12 wife can take without heart palpitations. It’s also the only vaccine I will take period due to health complications with the others.

Health Canada has also always made Novavax difficult to get. Despite living in busy Burnaby, we regularly had to drive to Surrey or the back of Port Coquitlam to get a dose.

They always made it a long awkward drive because they wanted us to choose moderna or pfizer out of laziness. The other “govt preferred” options were always available at the Walmart 5 minutes away.

They have now decided to force us into these other options or simply not get vaccinated at all.

Looks like my #bced partner and I will not be vaccinated this fall due to #HeathCanada’s careless decision to forget about us again.

I have absolutely no faith this #bcndp #bcgov will care about this either. Wouldn’t be surprised if this decision came directly from #BonnieHenry herself. They have abandoned the vulnerable yet again.

I now wonder if we will ever get vaccinated in Canada again. Looks like we will have to start traveling to the #US just to get proper coverage. Shame on #HealthCanada.

They should all be fired and replaced by #vulnerable people who actually still care to fight this pandemic with ALL tools available.

This decision by Health Canada will only result in more sickness and death.

#Masks are now our only line of defence, how long before they take those away?

BA.2.86 variant detected in B.C.

“The BC Centre for Disease Control has identified British Columbia’s 1st of BA.2.86 in an individual in Fraser Health who has not travelled outside the province.

Clarifications:
"when appropriate" = closed indoor spaces
"wash hands" - COVID is airborne
"vaccinations" - the new formulations have not been approved
