Do you remember when we all queued up to roll up our sleeves to receive the COVID-19 vaccination? We made a commitment to getting the shot, not just to protect ourselves from the impacts of the virus, but also to safeguard our family, friends and strangers around us. 

Recently, however, our motivation to get vaccinated has definitely waned. As a result, we are now confronting not only a fifth wave of COVID-19, but also its companions...two other viruses. 

In this episode of The Quicky we explore what challenges await us this winter and why we need to address the presence of three viruses during the colder months.
