Another insightful piece from @kiffercard. We have vaccines in Canada, and we need to pay more attention to global vaccine equity. Also, "we must be especially ready to adopt a reasoned public health response that prioritizes vaccines for the communities that need them the most."
The WHO has declared Mpox a ‘public health emergency of international concern.’ Is it time to worry?

Another article from this year’s President’s Dream Colloquium in #OneHealth. This one from Raymond Ho on How ‘One Health’ clinics support unhoused people and their pets https://t.co/np3HCPtBs4 via @ConversationCA

Many unhoused people have pets, however, accessing health care for themselves and their pets can be a challenge. ‘One Health’ clinics can provide vital health care to unhoused people and their pets.
