OTTAWA, ON, July 5, 2021 /CNW/ - As more and more Canadians get vaccinated against COVID-19, the Government of Canada is taking action to make sure every Canadian who wants a vaccine can get one, while also closing the gap among populations with lower vaccine uptake.
Today, the Honourable Patty Hajdu, Minister of Health, announced three new projects receiving funding through the Immunization Partnership Fund (IPF) to support vaccination efforts across Canada. These projects will provide health care providers with the tools, training, and evidence-based information they need to promote and counsel others on the importance of COVID-19 vaccines.
Indigenous Primary Health Care Council will receive funding to develop and implement educational outreach sessions and resources for non-Indigenous health care providers so they can better promote vaccine uptake among Indigenous clients and their families in a culturally safe and trauma-informed way.
