It’s been almost a year and half since pandemic began, and finally the COVID-19 vaccines have been provided to individuals with age 12 and older. Some have changed after our last COVID-19 seminar in March 2021 – This time, our seminar will be offered on Saturday night, to target wide range of Japanese-speaking population.<\/p>\n

What is this seminar about?<\/h2>\n

\"\"More than half of the eligible individuals in Canada have been fully vaccinated (Health Canada, July 30, 2021). The reopening of non-essential businesses has been progressed in Ontario – some of you may have already enjoyed dine-in or joining an event, with some restrictions.<\/p>\n

However, there are still many people feeling unsure about COVID-19 vaccination, worry towards side effects or mixing different vaccines, or having difficulty catching up with often-changing information (especially in second language!). Even for vaccinated people, next questions may have raised such as side effects that appear many days after, COVID-19 symptoms for the fully-vaccinated, what to be careful in daily life \/ school reopening, if PPEs & physical distance are still needed, COVID-variants, what is the booster.. so many information to be aware of!<\/p>\n

Therefore, this seminar aims to provide accurate up-to-date information about COVID-19 vaccine, what the daily life after vaccination may look like, from a registered nurse practitioner in Toronto with the latest science\/prevention point of view. There will be an interactive part (anonymous poll) planned during the seminar – Come and join us to test your knowledge and learn more!<\/p>\n

\u203bInformation the seminar covers is limited for ones related to Ontario and Canada.<\/p>\n

\u203bJapanese-only (English version may be able to offer when the circumstances meet)<\/p>\n

\u3010Caution\u3011The purpose of this seminar is to provide accurate information on COVID-19 as of the date of the seminar, and not to provide medical advices to specific personal health conditions. Talk to your primary care provider (e.g. family physician\/nurse) if you seek such medical advice. Please also understand that information may change daily with the progress of the medical research and evidences found.<\/p>\n

The hosting and supporting organization groups and individuals as well as the guest speaker, will not be held responsible should any inconvenience occurs upon attending to this seminar.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
