Dialogue: 0,0:00:02.30,0:00:06.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Most Canadians won't need convincing that\Na COVID vaccine will be worth taking Dialogue: 0,0:00:07.01,0:00:07.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,once it arrives. Dialogue: 0,0:00:07.90,0:00:10.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But, as you just herd, \Nmany Canadians have questions. Dialogue: 0,0:00:11.15,0:00:12.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, to answer some of ours, Dialogue: 0,0:00:12.81,0:00:15.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Dr. Cora Constantinescu, \Nan infectious disease specialist Dialogue: 0,0:00:15.93,0:00:18.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,who works at the vaccine hesitancy clinic Dialogue: 0,0:00:18.98,0:00:21.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,at the Alberta Children’s Hospital\Nin Calgary. Dialogue: 0,0:00:21.64,0:00:25.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And Dr, I didn’t even know \Nthat a place such as your even existed. Dialogue: 0,0:00:25.06,0:00:27.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I mean, who gets referred to you, exactly? Dialogue: 0,0:00:28.12,0:00:33.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We have made it \Ninto a more of a streamline process Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and have actually going out \Nin the physician community Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and told them that we are here to support them\Nas they refer the patients into us. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then, do you see it as your job Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to sort of convince people to get vaccinated? Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I see it as my job to support people \Nas they’re making the decision to vaccinate. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, how does that conversation sound? Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I mean, where do you even begin? Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I star every time reminding myself Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that at the heart of each \Nand every vaccine hesitancy appointment, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there is a parent trying Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to make the best decision they can\Nfor themselves and for their family. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And it actually takes \Nquite a lot of courage to come in Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because they’re battling\Na lot of fear and misinformation, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and overall, a lack of trust. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So we spend quite a lot of time \Nbuilding rapport and trust with each family Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,understanding more about them \Nso we can actually personalize Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and tailor the communication and the message\Nthat we give them about the vaccinations. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then, \Nwe work closely with public health Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where they go ahead \Nand actually administer the vaccine. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that’s striking, that you would say \Nthere is this kind of lack of trust. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I mean, how would you even begin to advice? Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I don’t know, like a provincial government, \Na local government, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or the federal government\Nto create that or to build that. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Yeah, so, I really think that \Nwhen we think about trust, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we have to think at the personal level,\Nand at the population level. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And at the personal level, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it goes back to this idea \Nof putting it into perspective Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and understanding \Nwhat the benefit of the vaccine Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the dangers of the diseases to each of us. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, when it comes to COVID, for example, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I would encourage every Canadian \Nto think of what this pandemic Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and what they have done for this pandemic Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and what this virus\Nhas taken away from them. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, it might be that \Nsome have lost loved ones, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,others have lost their social interaction,\Nthe ability of the kids to go to school. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There is a cost to each and everyone of us Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and therefore, there is a benefit\Nto each and everyone of us. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then, we all have to go \Nand have to take this vaccine Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so we can show \Nthat we’re indeed in this together. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then, when we move\Nat the population level, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it’s really important \Nto start building this trust. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It’s a hard task to take on Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because you have to consider\Nthe complexity of human behavior, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,especially about COVID-19. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And our health care institutions\Ncan't do this alone. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I don’t want this to come across\Nas a callous question, Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but, how do you know what you do works? Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because you are not the one \Nadministering vaccines, right? Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Do you track your success rate,\Nso to speak? Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, depending on how we look at it. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It’s anywhere between about 50 to 65 %\N Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that patients will go ahead and have a vaccine \Nafter they’ve attended our clinic. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And in the vaccine hesitancy world \Nactually that’s quite successful. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This has been an interesting conversation,\Nto be sure. Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Dr Constantinescu,\Nthank you so much for your time.
