I created a tool to track the new XBB COVID-19 vaccine rollout across public health units in Ontario: young.me/xbb/ I will be posting updates here, Twitter/X, and Mastodon. Shoutout to Brant County, Halton, Niagara, North Bay Parry Sound, and Thunder Bay for being on the ball 🥰
Damn - I live in York Region and work in South Simcoe
Thank you so much for this Andrew! Navigating this rollout has once again been very Hunger Games-ish, and with your tool was able to help many loved ones book appointments. So much gratitude for what you do, Ontario is very lucky to have you 🥰
I am not impressed with Niagara, they have one location basically at the far end of a very large region. Only week days until 3:45. Some vague statements that priority will be for those most at risk with no information who that is. I am in St. Catharines and it would be a 20 minute drive on the QEW.
if you want an invite to make an account for this tool, lmk, i have a few extras how you use technology to track covid is nothing less than extraordinary.
Do we have *any* idea whether we'll be getting access to the Novavax XBB updates? I can't believe they're making it so damned difficult for people to get a shot that works better and doesn't need fancy super-cooled refrigeration for storage.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Thank you!!
Should we be waiting for the new vaccine if we haven’t had one since last December?
Great tracker for PHUs but be careful with pharmacies. Smart pharmacists will tell you to wait for the XBB vax as it's not yet widely available, but some pharmacies are injecting the outdated bivalent. The immunization clinics are the best bet. Ask to see the bottle, which should state XBB.
This is wonderful, Andrew! It’s definitely the Hunger Games again!
Thank you ❤️
