Vaccination has been an instrumental tool in the global fight against the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. As of 20 December 2021, globally 4.385 billion persons were vaccinated with at least one dose, which is less than 60% of the world’s population. [i] While most of the world’s population is deprived of equitable access to vaccination, in some countries, including the United Kingdom, vaccine hesitancy remains a barrier to achieving high vaccination rates.

The Francis Crick Institute partnered with London-based Poet In the City to introduce a novel approach to encourage vaccination through art and poetry.

After being vaccinated, people share their immediate experiences on postcards. These personal expressions are transformed into poetry by Poet In the City’s creative artists.

The resulting poetry is displayed outside the centre to reduce fear and concerns linked to the vaccines and educate the public on the benefits of vaccination as perceived by peers.

Quebec should plan mass campaign to give out COVID-19 booster shots: vaccine committee

COVID-19 vaccine fourth-dose campaign for the general population that would be launched in the fall.Quebecers most vulnerable to serious consequences from the disease — seniors over 80, immunocompromised people and residents of long-term care homes — can start receiving a fourth dose of vaccine next week, health officials said Wednesday. The same day, the immunization committee said the government should start planning to give second boosters out to everyone in a few months.In a written opinion released Thursday, the Comité sur l’immunisation du Québec recommended the government implement “a new vaccine strategy aimed at periodically boosting immunity against COVID-19 while also allowing for the ability to react to a possible emergence of a new variant of concern.”Quebec to offer 4th dose of COVID-19 vaccine to at-risk groups as cases, hospitalizations riseA mass second-booster campaign, the committee suggested, could take place in September or October and target “either all persons authorized to receive vaccines against COVID-19, or those usually targeted by the seasonal influenza vaccination program.”Currently, only 52 per cent of the population aged five and older have received a third dose of vaccine, according to provincial health data.The committee released an analysis of hospitalizations and deaths that occurred between January and mid-March indicating that people 80 and older were almost 200 times more likely to die of COVID-19 than those under 60, and 16 times more likely to be hospitalized.
