Becki spoke to us about her experience as a Regional Immunization Coordinator:
I worked for Health Canada within the First Nation and Inuit Health branch.
I did this job during the H1N1 pandemic.
I coordinated the mass immunization response for Saskatchewan First Nation on reserve communities. In both remote and isolated areas of Saskatchewan.
I wrote the Saskatchewan mass immunization plan that was then adapted to be utilized for the Canadian mass immunization plan for remote and isolated communities.
I loved this job and all things related to immunization.
I am a strong believer in vaccines and their benefits.
Next to clean running water, vaccines in relation to public health have had historically one of the highest impacts on the health of people.
There is a lot of work being done behind the scenes to ensure our population is being safely vaccinated.
