๐๏ธFindMyVaccine is back with infectious diseases physician, Dr. Zain Chagla, who joins us from Toronto in studio.
As we head into Fall 2024, it's not just the leaves changing-we cover the latest updates on COVID-19, new variants, new boosters, and new messaging we head into respiratory season.ย ๐ฆ
In this episode,ย we cut through the noise and dive into what you need to know.
โ Why is this surge happening again? We'll look at the data from this past summer's outbreaks and discuss why it's crucial to stay on top of this evolving situation.
๐ก๏ธ Booster blues? Vaccine uptake is still low among at-risk populations, and there's a new booster in town. But how do you communicate that effectively to patients without sounding like a broken recordโor worse, adding to the confusion?
๐กNavigating patient conversations around booster recommendationsย ๐ and why the message has shifted. Get practical tips for identifying high-risk patients and translating NACI recommendations into action. It's not just about age; it's about timing, awareness, and making sure your patients understand why the next dose matters.
๐ Plus, we discuss how to prioritize COVID vs. flu vaccines.ย
๐ง Tune in for the latest on COVID, and more, with expert insights and a touch of humor.

โถ๏ธ๐ง๐๏ธPART 2! Tools to use on the frontline and tips to engage your patients in 60 seconds or less. We untangle the complex web of the COVID-19 pandemic and plot a course for the journey ahead withย ๐๐ซ.Alan Kaplan and Dr.Marla Shapiro who break down all ย you need to know.
โ๏ธโ๏ธWe take an in-depth look at the unfolding chapter of the COVID-19 pandemic. The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the global health emergency phase over, yet COVID-19 remains a persistent adversary. . Seems like a contradiction, right? We're dissecting this communique and explore how to break it down on the frontlines. We ask, where are we headed now?
โ๏ธโ๏ธWe delve into the questions on everyone's mind: Do our current vaccines shield us against the elusive XBB.1.16 variant? What does the end of the 'emergency phase' actually mean for us on a day-to-day basis? And with the virus still lurking in our midst, how do we navigate this new landscape of coexistence?
โ๏ธโ๏ธWe examine the WHO's Technical Advisory Group (TAG) proposal to retire the original COVID-19 strain from future vaccines and explore what this could mean for the future of public vaccination strategies.ย
โ๏ธโ๏ธWe're also talking the latest research on hybrid immunity and how to translate this for your patients in a meaningful way. What happens when natural infection immunity meets vaccine-induced immunity? Does this 'hybrid immunity' offer us an extra layer of protection?
โ๏ธโ๏ธKeeping the conversation light, the information insightful, and the health advice actionable to navigate the road ahead.ย

๐ก ๐ก ๐กEnsuring immunization of structurally disadvantaged populations: Black People and other people of colour
ย
Podcast Learning objectives
ย
For this mini podcast, we delve into how historical and systemic racism creates hurdles not only in understanding vaccine coverage discrepancies in Canada, but also in crafting effective, nuanced responses. We spotlight the distinctive obstacles Black and Asian communities in Canada have faced in accessing vaccines, both amidst the pandemic and prior to it. In the absence of detailed race-specific data for monitoring diseases preventable by vaccines and tracking vaccination rates, it is difficult to adequately cater to marginalized communities who face systemic barriers to healthcare access, including vaccinations. Dr.Anand unpacks this complex issue.

๐๐ฌ The premiers and the prime minister reached a new 10 year healthcare funding deal totaling $196 billion, with $46 billion in new funding with a tailored approach to the unique healthcare needs of each province and territory via bilateral deals. Provinces and territories in return must commit to health-care reform and improve transparency around data collection.

ย
The Right Honourable Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada
Justin Trudeau ย is Canadaโs 23rd Prime Minister.
Justinโs vision of Canada is a country where everyone has a real and fair chance to succeed. His experiences as a teacher, father, leader, and advocate for youth have shaped his dedication to Canadians โ and his commitment to make Canada a place where everyone has the opportunities they need to thrive.
The oldest of three boys, Justin grew up with the profound influence of his father, Pierre Elliott Trudeau, and his mother, Margaret Trudeau. He was raised speaking both French and English and has family roots in both Eastern and Western Canada. This background helped spark his passion for public service and shaped his conviction that diversity is Canadaโs strength.
Justin studied literature at McGill University, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in 1994. He went on to complete the University of British Columbiaโs education program, and spent several years teaching French, math, and other subjects in Vancouver. Teaching allowed him to make a positive impact in the lives of young people. He remains committed to hearing the voices of young Canadians, from the classroom to Parliament Hill.
Before entering politics, Justin served as the Chair of Katimavik, on the board for the Canadian Avalanche Foundation, and as an advocate for young people and the environment. As a speaker at events and conferences around the country, he encouraged young people to engage with the issues important to them and participate as active citizens. These experiences made it increasingly clear to him that the issues young Canadians care about โ education, the environment, and their generation's economic prospects โ needed a stronger voice.
Justin entered politics to make change that would better serve all Canadians. In 2007, he built a community-based, grassroots campaign to win the Liberal Party nomination in the Montrรฉal riding of Papineau. He was elected in 2008, and re-elected in 2011, 2015, and 2019.
Justin was elected Leader of the Liberal Party in April 2013. His leadership campaign focused on building a new, truly national movement of progressive Canadians, bringing hundreds of thousands of Canadians into politics, most for the first time. He worked closely with his team to build a plan to create jobs, grow the economy, protect the environment, and strengthen the middle class. With Justinโs leadership, the Liberal plan emphasized fair economic opportunity for everyone, respect for and promotion of freedom and diversity, and a more democratic government that truly represents Canadians.
On October 19, 2015, Justin led his party to victory, winning a majority government with seats in every province and territory across the country. He was sworn in on November 4, 2015.
On October 21, 2019, Justin led the Liberal Party to re-election, earning a second mandate from Canadians.
As Prime Minister, Justin leads a government that works hard every day to continue moving Canada forward.ย His team is focused on creating good middle class jobs, making life more affordable, keeping Canadaโs communities safe, fighting climate change, and moving forward on reconciliation with Indigenous peoples. A proud feminist, Justin appointed Canadaโs first gender balanced Cabinet.

โถ๏ธ ย ๐จ๏ธ We are excited to sit down with Canada's Chief Public Health Officer, Dr.Theresa Tam, to discuss her personal thoughts about how this pandemic has ย reshaped how we think about public health's role and new opportunities to synergize with frontline healthcare providers. ย
๐ฌ๐๏ธ Often climate change is not a top of mind issue ย when it comes to healthcare planning and resource allocation. In anticipation of Dr.Tam's upcoming Annual report, we deep dive into how public health is building in plans to address climate change, extreme weather event, and the changing endemicity of transmissible diseases as a result.
๐ก ย You also don't want to miss Dr.Tam's secret talent.

Your COVID vaccine is getting a makeover (well kind of).
Freshly formulated updated Omicron-specific COVID-19 vaccines are now available.
These ย new bivalent booster shots rolling out across Canada are specifically tailored to match currently circulating COVID omicron variants and are thought to provide enhanced protection against newer versions of SARS-CoV-2 than our earlier shots. Uptake of booster vaccines has not been anywhere near as high as the initial vaccines.
