Action4Canada - Bonnie Henry Pushes COVID Shots Again. Justice Must Prevail!

00:00:00.000 So even if you've previously been immunized for influenza for COVID, we encourage everybody to

00:00:05.900 get the updated vaccine again this year. We know that these viruses in particular keep changing

00:00:12.580 over time. Sometimes it's slightly, sometimes it's more of a bigger change. And this is the case

00:00:17.960 particularly for influenza and COVID-19. For example, this year, all three strains in the

00:00:24.780 influenza vaccine. So the H3N2, the H1N1, and the flu B strain are new to the vaccine. So it's

00:00:32.060 slightly different from the vaccines that were available last year. And that's why it's important

00:00:36.680 to get the latest updated vaccine, which can protect against these most recent variants of

00:00:42.500 the virus. I strongly believe we are so lucky to have vaccines, and we know they are one of the

00:00:52.460 safest and most effective protections we have against severe respiratory illness. We also know

00:00:59.620 that because of issues in the past that First Nations, Métis and Inuit people in our province

00:01:06.160 are more at risk of having severe illness. There is also available a nasal spray vaccine for

00:01:13.580 children. For COVID this year there will be two mRNA vaccines available and this year we'll have

00:01:21.600 sum of a protein subunit-based vaccine called nuvoxavoid.
