Description

Most of us knows someone who mistrusts some element of the COVID-19 vaccine. Access, miscommunication, cultural barriers and the historic traumas that some communities have associated with the health system are all factors behind that mistrust. Data shows that more than a quarter of Canadians have yet to get their first dose. So, how are vaccine advocates working towards turning a “maybe” into a “hell yes?” Dr. Tajinder Kaura joins me on “This Matters” to explain. Guest: Dr. Tajinder Kaura, ER physician in Peel Region, member of South Asian COVID-19 Task Force and the This is Our Shot campaign
