Two new podcast episodes available: Staying safe during respiratory season

BC Lung’s podcast, Airwaves & Airways has two new episodes this month! October’s content includes two-episode versions catered to two different audiences: patients and health care providers. Fall respiratory season is upon us – a time of increased respiratory illness. In episodes 5 and 6, we chat with Ajit Johal, who is a clinical assistant professor for the University of British Columbia Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences Program and is the Clinical Director at Immunize.io. Ajit is a community pharmacist focused on vaccinations and since 2012 has been providing clinical education and immunizations within Vancouver.

Episode 5 is catered towards health care providers to talk about which vaccines are currently available for patients and how to talk about vaccines with patients. If you’re a pharmacist, doctor, health educator, or any other type of health care provider, be sure to listen as we dive into how best to support our community this fall. LISTEN NOW: Episode 5- Staying safe during respiratory season (what health care providers need to know)

Episode 6 is catered towards the general public/patients to talk about respiratory season, risk factors, and all things vaccinations so you can be up to date on what to expect this fall. If you’re looking to learn more about vaccinations and what to expect as we head into respiratory season, be sure to check this episode out! LISTEN NOW: Episode 6 – Staying safe during respiratory season (what patients need to know)
