from The Good Health Cafe Hosted by Nikita Boston-Fisher

WeCanVax is a community initiative to help stop the spread of COVID-19 by promoting COVID-19 vaccine confidence in diverse communities across Montreal. In this episode our guests are Tammy Bui and Nehal Islam, the founders of WeCanVax. We discuss the initiative, how it got started, the results, the community reaction and what’s next for the duo and this dynamic initiative. Tune in for a great conversation! About Tammy and Nehal: Tammy Bui is a public health graduate. Being the daughter of two Vietnamese refugees, she was inspired to work with the broader multicultural community to promote public health. She co-created WeCanVax with the intention of empowering racialized communities in Quebec to get vaccinated. Nehal Islam is a MSc Epidemiology student at McGill passionate about supporting meaningful change for community health. Nehal’s family immigrated from Bangladesh to Montreal, QC before later settling in Ottawa, ON. He also brings experience interpreting and leading drug safety & effectiveness studies.
