    Our group adapted our previously published model to a "post-program" state that incorporated the major themes and sub-themes with levels of the social-ecological model. Although the FIT4YES program ended, multiple ideals instilled by the program continued, we believe, due to the common themes illustrated by our model. This study utilized a community check-in approach to gain insight into the long-term impacts of the FIT4YES program. We propose th…

  • Unintended consequences of communicating rapid Covid-19 vaccine policy changes– a qualitative study of health policy communication in Ontario, Canada

    Open AccessElizabeth Vernon‐Wilson, Elizabeth Vernon-Wilson et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

    Vaccine policy changes that allow for prioritized access can have the unintended consequence of limiting communities' access to information that supports decision making. Rapidly evolving circumstances require a balance between adjusting policy and maintaining simple, consistent public health messages that can readily be translated into action. Information access is a factor in health inequality that needs addressing alongside access to vaccines
