COVID outbreak risk remains in #ONhealth hospitals without layers of protection.

Universal masking in ALL areas of #Ontario hospitals is essential for safe healthcare access.

Let regional decision-makers know this is a priority.

History gives us plenty of examples of disease used as a weapon. There are fewer cases of governments deliberately using disease against their own citizens. We are living (or dying) through one right now.

Okay, now that I’m fully awake I see my mistake. RSV vaccine on one dose. I was thinking of the shingles vaccine. I keep track of so many infectious disease and vaccines, treatments, etc. and really shouldn’t be spouting off just after I wakeup, lol. My apologies for any confusion.

Jeweljam @jeweljam.bsky.social · 2d

Now I’m seeing on your profile that you’re in the U.S.? Could be different formulations….

Jeweljam @jeweljam.bsky.social · 2d

That’s interesting. The people (adults) I know in the Atlantic Canada region received 1 dose and 2 months later received another as the pharmacists recommended. I’ve inquired myself and that is what pharmacists are telling me. Hmm. I’m going to follow up on this. Thank you for sharing. 🧐

Clinically Vulnerable Families 💙💜💗 @cvcev.bsky.social · 5d

Hospitals are bringing masks back because Covid never left!

But we:

❌ Ignore Covid risks
❌ Don’t clean the air
❌ Deny vaccines to most Clinically Vulnerable
❌ Treat masking as “personal choice” (even HCWs)

It isn’t Living with Covid
It feels like neglect
#KeepCovidBoosters

We have re-introduced mask wearing in some areas

Please wear a mask where you see this poster

Thank you

"Masks remain available for patients, visitors and staff. Please wear a mask in this area"
