Vaccine Efficacy Explained

Another animated video created for Trillium Health Partners.

"All approved vaccines are 100 per cent effective at preventing hospitalization and death from COVID-19. We should all take the first opportunity to be vaccinated."

Watch as Dr. Matthew Robinson, Medical Director of THP’s COVID-19 Vaccination Program, explains what is meant by vaccine efficacy in relation to the severity of symptoms caused by COVID-19.

Throwback Thursday: Mass COVID-19 Vaccination Clinic Opens in Mississauga

On March 1, 2021, in partnership with University of Toronto Mississauga and Region of Peel, THP opened Mississauga’s first mass COVID-19 vaccination clinic. I had the pleasure of shooting photo and video of the opening. This is a major milestone in the fight against COVID-19.

“At the heart of this is the heart of every single health care worker. They care about their community and they care about each other.”

mRNA Vaccines Explained

Here is a video I created on After Effects for Trillium Health Partners. This was my first time taking a stab at creating a video solely on After Effects. As you might be able to tell I've drawn a lot of inspiration from the VOX series "Explained".

Do you want to know more about how COVID-19 mRNA vaccines work?

Follow along as Dr. Matthew Robinson, Medical Director of THP’s COVID-19 Vaccination Program gives an overview of how vaccines work in general and how the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines work a little differently to teach our bodies how to protect ourselves from COVID-19 infection.

I’ve been diving pretty deep into After Effects and Adobe Illustrator these days. I’m hoping to add a new section to my website soon that will have these types of projects in it. Keep an eye out for that!

COVID Unit Portrait // POTD 20.01.21

Infectious disease specialist, Dr. Sumon Chakrabarti stops for a quick portrait between seeing COVID positive patients at Trillium Health Partners. Dr. Chakrabarti and fellow infectious disease specialists have been key players in not only keeping us safe but also keeping us informed throughout this pandemic. Over the past year he’s been volunteering his time to provide daily interviews to media.

While on the unit we also shot some b-roll for virtual discussion with a group of front-line doctors from across Canada that aired on Global News. You can watch the discussion HERE.

Peel Paramedics COVID-19 Vaccination Training // POTD 17.01.21

On January 7 Peel Paramedics came to Trillium Health Partners to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. They also were trained on how to administer the vaccine. Now Peel Paramedics have joined forces in administering the vaccine to long-term care workers, front line staff and other priority groups. I had the opportunity to tag along and photograph some of the process. Here are a few of my favourite stills from the day.

The Light at the End of the Tunnel

Trillium Health Partners had the honour of administering Peel Region’s first COVID-19 vaccine, and I was lucky enough to capture the event.

While the vaccine rollout is worth celebrating it is important to not celebrate a victory quite yet. Even with multiple companies pumping out vaccines it’s going to take time to administer the vaccine to those who are willing to take it.

Be sure to remain vigilant. Continue to mask up, social distance and practice frequent hand hygiene.

The staff at the Trillium Health Partner vaccination clinic are working hard to get all the ICU staff and long term care home workers vaccinated. Below are some images from the vaccination clinic.
