Normally a Masjid, transformed these days into a Pop Up Vaccination Clinic.
Where you show up with your Vaccine Booking information to sign in and be directed to a Vaccine Station.
The Vaccine Station where you sit beside a trained vaccine doser and get the jab.
These are the physically distanced chairs you sit in for the full 15 minutes after you get your first dose.
A safety precaution.
Most people feel fine after getting their first vaccine jab in their upper arm.
This is where Muslims have an opportunity for Dhikr, The Remembrance of Allah SWT, inside a Masjid this Ramadan.
Make those minutes count !
Today the @ICCO_MAC with @regionofpeel welcomed several hundred 18+ residents of Peel and successfully provided them with vaccinations. Thank you to all the volunteers! pic.twitter.com/wCjP4PP17F

Alhamdulelah today's launch for the MAC ICCO mobile vaccination clinic was a success. 100% of the planned vaccine doses were given today. Today was a soft opening for the clinic with reduced numbers and it worked smoothly. PPH staff, nurses & MAC volunteers did a great job. pic.twitter.com/NgGDCGDtkY

Thank you MPP @krasheedmpp & MPP @SherefSabawyPC for sharing this special moment with our community launching the MAC ICCO Mobile vaccination clinic. Unfortunately they didnt catch the registration window so they were not vaccinated today. However, they are keen on vaccination. pic.twitter.com/H5FlZ2M9GU

The mobile vaccination clinic is an excellent initiative to make vaccination accessible to more people. It also used a community partnership model that help educate and remove barriers against vaccination. Thank you @ONThealth@ROPpublichealth for this successful partnership.

A unified Friday Sermon message in all masajid across Canada
Friday April 30 2021
1. COVID-19 EFFECT ON MUSLIMS
Data from the U.K., South Africa, USA, and even Canada, shows that ethno-racialized communities, which include many Muslims, have been disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 Pandemic.
2. VACCINE HESITANCY
Although vaccine rollouts have started, some Muslims are hesitant to take the vaccine due to misinformation or attention-grabbing headlines that have not allowed risks to be contextualized.
3. VACCINES ARE SAFE, EFFECTIVE & HALAL
Muslim healthcare professionals and Islamic scholars from North America and Europe have verified the ingredients and issued statements affirming their safety, effectiveness and permissibility.
4. MUSLIMS’ COLLECTIVE DUTY
We have a collective duty towards those who are vulnerable and to protect our community.
That’s the prophetic way.
5. LOCAL MUSLIM LEADERSHIP
There are many educational, advocacy, and social support services established by and for Canadian Muslims.
Please visit the CMCTF website for COVID-19 related resources and information.
