An important thread here on the importance of #vaccination if you'll bear with me. This is a great infographic by @WHO that nicely exemplifies #vaccine safety. They use the example of #Pertussis but this very much applies to #COVID19 ...

Stage 1 - Prior to the vaccine we've seen astounding cases numbers and disease burden
Stage 2 - We're finally here! The vaccine has arrived! However, as we give more vaccines, the reported adverse events will increase as expected (but again, RARE to have life-threatening rxns)..

What we DON'T want to happen is Stage 3, where the public loses confidence in #vaccination because as you can see from the graph, we risk another outbreak.

However, even if this occurs, we can still make a comeback! With more widespread vaccination, hopefully it will lead to control and eradication of #COVID19Ontario
Take home message: #VaccinesWork #VaccinesSaveLives and let's try to prevent this 'Stage 3' !!
