Stakeholder Update March 18 SHA UPDATE – March 18, 2021 COVID-19 HIGHLIGHTS FOR HEALTH PARTNERS This communication is intended to provide timely and important information to our municipal leaders, health system partners, health and hospital foundations, and other community based organizations. Please feel free to distribute among your stakeholders as appropriate. |COVID-19| Immunization Campaign – 5 Minute Message Congratulations to the Regina IHICC team for their amazing work to set up a drive-thru immunization site in record time. Regina was chosen for the AstraZeneca drive-thru clinic due to the rising number of cases of COVID-19 variants of concern in that city. Thousands of people have come through and are now better protected, thanks to the efforts of a dedicated team. Learn more about their work in this week’s 5-minute message. Please see the Government of Saskatchewan website for updated information on the vaccine rollout. |COVID-19| COVID-19: So many vaccine options The world waited with anticipation throughout 2020 until we had an approved vaccine for COVID-19. Now, almost a year later, we have many vaccines that have been approved by Health Canada including Pfizer BioNTech, Moderna, AstraZeneca/Covishield, and Johnson & Johnson (Janssen). There are similarities and differences between the vaccines, but the one thing we know is that all vaccines achieve the end goal of working toward community immunity or what is sometimes called herd immunity. What is herd immunity? Herd immunity is when a large portion of the population in an area is immune to a specific disease. If enough people are immune to the disease, then the virus or bacteria cannot flourish in that community. When a population reaches the point of collective or herd immunity, the disease is no longer likely to spread. This is where vaccines come into play. Vaccines have played a major role in limiting the severity of illness and controlling the spread of disease. As stated by the World Health Organization (WHO), safe and effective vaccines save lives by making disease rarer. “When a large number of people are immunized, the virus will have difficulty finding a host if there are enough people who have developed immunity,” said Dr. Tania Diener, EOC COVID 19 Immunization Co-Chief, Saskatchewan Health Authority. “Even if a virus infects an immunized host, the chance of severe illness is greatly reduced as the body is ready to actively mount a defense against the virus.” Widespread immunity also serves to protect those who cannot be immunized such as newborns, making immunization important for you, your family and your community. saskatchewan.ca/COVID19 COVID – 19 SHA Update Highlights for Health Care Partners Page 1 of 6 SHA UPDATE – March 18, 2021 COVID-19 HIGHLIGHTS FOR HEALTH PARTNERS Whether it’s Pfizer BioNTech, Moderna, AstraZeneca/Covishield or the pending availability of Johnson & Johnson (Janssen), vaccines are safe, approved by Health Canada and they are the way forward to returning to life as we knew it before COVID-19. Don’t hesitate, vaccinate. Follow the Saskatchewan Health Authority on Twitter and Facebook for more stories and updates on COVID-19. For further information on the Vaccine Delivery Plan, please visit www.Saskatchewan.ca/ COVID19-vaccine |COVID-19| COVID-19 Vaccine vs Flu Vaccine There are both similarities and differences between the COVID-19 vaccine and the seasonal influenza (flu) vaccine. The fundamental principles apply: Both protect yourself and others around you, and prevent you from becoming seriously ill. They are safe. You cannot get COVID-19 or influenza from the vaccines and severe reactions are rare. Health Canada reviews all vaccines for safety and efficacy; no vaccine will be provided unless it meets established standards. The differences between the COVID-19 and flu vaccine are also notable: COVID-19 and the flu are caused by different viruses. COVID-19 is a coronavirus. Flu is an influenza virus. Precautions including masking, hand washing and physical distancing are beneficial to stopping the spread of either the COVID-19 or flu viruses. Each year, a new flu vaccine is created to target viruses expected to be more common that year. Manufacturers confirm with Health Canada that the vaccine contains the World Health Organization’s recommended strains for the northern hemisphere. To create a flu vaccine, the chosen influenza viruses are incubated and then rendered inactive before being incorporated into the vaccine, with the exception of a nasal spray that contains a live virus that has been weakened to prevent the development of disease. The body recognizes the inactivated/weakened-live virus as foreign and responds by developing immunity. The COVID-19 vaccine differs in that it is targeted specifically to the coronavirus that causes COVID-19. The vaccines introduce a spike protein that is found on the outside of the virus, so that your body can develop an immune response to that protein. saskatchewan.ca/COVID19 COVID – 19 SHA Update Highlights for Health Care Partners Page 2 of 6 SHA UPDATE – March 18, 2021 COVID-19 HIGHLIGHTS FOR HEALTH PARTNERS The vaccines may work in different ways, but the single most important thing to remember is that vaccines prevent or reduce severe illness and death. Getting immunized makes all the difference for yourself, your loved ones and your community. Follow the Saskatchewan Health Authority on Twitter and Facebook for more stories and updates on COVID-19. For further information on the Vaccine Delivery Plan, please visit www.Saskatchewan.ca/ COVID19-vaccine |COVID-19| A day for double-takes: Merlis Belsher gets vaccinated at Merlis Belsher Place March 12 was a curious day for Merlis Belsher. He went to the facility on the University of Saskatchewan (U of S) campus which bears his name to get his COVID-19 vaccination. “I pinch myself when I see what’s happened here,” said Belsher. The facility, which is normally home to the University of Saskatchewan (U of S) Huskies hockey, basketball and campus leagues as well as Midget AAA Contacts and Midget AAA Stars, has been converted by the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) into a mass immunization site where thousands of people will receive the potentially life-saving COVID-19 vaccine. From June 2020 till March 2021, the site was home to the city’s field hospital, which stood at the ready but was never used. “Who would believe it would be used for this kind of event?” said Belsher, who was last at Merlis Belsher Place March 1, 2020 to watch the Huskies men’s hockey team defeat the UBC Thunderbirds to a sold-out crowd. On March 12, 2021, the site was buzzing with activity of a different sort. Dozens of health care workers were fulfilling their various functions to ensure Saskatoon seniors with pre-booked appointments get vaccinated against COVID-19. “All of the workers at the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) deserve credit. They were working hard, they were organized and they were busy. They deserve tremendous thanks from all the people, and from me,” said Belsher. Belsher reported getting vaccinated was a painless process. “I’d seen someone on TV getting the needle last night. That needle appeared to be several inches long, my arm is thin. I thought, ‘The needle will go right through my arm and the vaccine will be on the floor’.” When the time came to get his shot, he turned his head and didn’t feel a thing. “I never knew she was finished.” Even four hours later, his arm didn’t hurt and he was back in his office attending to affairs. Belsher said he understood why the SHA wanted to use the facility. saskatchewan.ca/COVID19 COVID – 19 SHA Update Highlights for Health Care Partners Page 3 of 6 SHA UPDATE – March 18, 2021 COVID-19 HIGHLIGHTS FOR HEALTH PARTNERS The U of S multi-purpose sports facility, which includes the Ron and Jane Graham Sports Science and Health Centre, was ideal for a field hospital and mass immunization. “I am very pleased that our university was able to fulfill a community need as required by the SHA. It’s a huge space; the gyms provide adequate waiting areas after receiving the vaccine; distancing is easy to accommodate; and the parking is good,” said Belsher, who donated $12.25 million towards the facility’s construction and was among those who influenced its design. Similar to university President Peter Stoicheff, he wanted the building to serve the community. In its current incarnation, as a site to help the province end the pandemic, it continues to fulfill this role. Belsher said while he’s not about to lecture anyone, he thinks it’s important that everyone get vaccinated as soon as it’s available to them. He also asks that, following vaccination, people continue to follow infection prevention and control protocols such as masking, distancing and hand washing which is needed to protect themselves and others. “We are not out of this yet. Until the variants are put to bed, the pandemic is of great concern.” Although it may be a while yet, Belsher says he’s looking forward to the day when he’s once again watching hockey at Merlis Belsher Place. “I’m hoping for it to happen. Mike Babcock will be coaching. It will be exciting. But the people are more important than sports. The people and dealing with the pandemic come first.” |COVID-19| NEO-Natal Nursing Pioneer, COVID-19 Vaccine Recipient: Ellen Ross Ellen Ross has spent her fair share of time working in a health care environment, having begun her training to become a registered nurse in 1945. Originally from Manitoba, Ellen and her husband Harvey soon found themselves on the move due to his employment with the railroad.
