Vaccine Hunters Are Ending Their Updates & The Responses Make You Proud To Be Canadian
"Thank you for being a beacon of light during the darkness." ❤️
A social media group that helped provide hundreds of thousands of Canadians with COVID-19 vaccination updates is ending its operation.
Vaccine Hunters Canada was created in March 2020 by Andrew Young and formed huge presences on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and TikTok.
Volunteers posted regular daily updates about where Canadians could get vaccinated, details on who was eligible and information about how to book their doses.
As we announced at the beginning of August, today will be the last day we share updates to our social channels. We've automated + consolidated our services, including #FindYourImmunization on https://vaccinehunters.ca\u00a0.\n\nComing soon! A new partnership to take FYI to the next level.pic.twitter.com/Eu9gyGgsm9— Vaccine Hunters Canada (@Vaccine Hunters Canada) 1630404001
After posting the news on their Twitter account, which still has 250,000 followers, there were dozens of heartfelt replies.
One user posted: "Your guidance and perseverance throughout this phase has been commendable and we will be forever thankful to you for your hard work."
Others posted about how the Vaccine Hunters Canada team had served Canada.
Thank you all for your kind service to Canadians. Our country would surely not be doing as well as we are if it were not for your time and efforts. Well done! Cheers to you all! #VaxHuntersOrderOfCanada pic.twitter.com/Ijkqws1TGD
