And it’s no small task given the constantly changing rules, last-minute cancellations and hush-hush pop-up clinics that you only hear about when they’re over. Enter Vaccine Hunters Canada, a Twitter account and web platform that’s helping to make sense of the mayhem. Joshua Kalpin is a software developer by day and Vaccine Hunter after hours. By his estimate, the community-run effort has connected thousands of (eligible!) Canadian arms with jabs.
