Tell policy-makers BC deserves timely access and clear messaging!
This form lets you email several BC decision-makers at once – from the BCCDC, to your MLA, to BC Health Minister Josie Osborne and Dr. Bonnie Henry and their deputies. Enter your address to help find your local representative. Then review the email wording and subject line, and send!
Note: the “Action Network” tool requires a return address so that the system can find your MLA. If you prefer not to enter your address, you also can also use our template wording to email policy-makers yourself.
Breaking news – Novavax is back in Canada… and British Columbians will have access to it!
But there’s a catch – Novavax will only be available at ‘select pharmacies’ and ordered according to the uptake of past years.
In the past, Novavax uptake had ‘low demand’ due to delayed roll out and restricted availability.
There is clear demand for Novavax. In 2024, British Columbians sent over 26,000 letters asking for Novavax access. Last February, the Canadian Immunocompromised Advocacy Network released an open letter recommending procurement of the Novavax Nuvaxovid vaccine, which was signed by doctors and stakeholder organizations across Canada
Please join us in urging BC policy-makers to ensure Novavax access for the 2026/27 season. This is a matter of safety and health equity for some of the most vulnerable amongst us, including some people who already have Long COVID or other complex medical conditions. We must also ensure Novavax is offered in a TIMELY fashion, with clear messaging, to avoid a repeat of prior seasons where it was only offered with a very delayed rollout and severely restricted availability, contributing to perceived “low demand”.
Contact the BCCDC and your policy-makers today, and tell them we need #NovavaxNow.
