➢ New – Media
o Dr. Susan Kahn on CBC-Radio Yesterday Quebec reported its first case of thrombosis in
reaction to the AstraZeneca vaccine. In an interview on CBC-Radio, Dr. Susan Kahn,
Director of the Centre for Excellence in Thrombosis and Anticoagulation Care (CETAC) at
the JGH, affirms that despite this case, she feels confident recommending the vaccine to
patients and others who may be concerned about it. She also points out that the risk of
getting a blood clot from COVID-19 is far greater than the risk associated with the vaccine.
o Le Devoir. 130 jours pour vaincre la COVID (French) Suzy Makengo Ndelo spent 130 days in
Intensive Care at the JGH, where she survived a very severe case of COVID-19after losing
the strength to walk, contracting C. difficile, and even temporarily losing her memory.
While her case illustrates the quality of care provided by the hospital, it also demonstrates
that admitting new patients with COVID-19 can cause a hospital to falter, given the
amount of human and material resources required to ensure the survival of a single
patient.
o JGH News: On its fifth anniversary, Pavilion K emerges as the silent hero of the pandemic
It’s being called the JGH’s silent hero of the pandemic: Pavilion K is celebrating its fifth
anniversary by exceeding expectations as a critical-care wing. Negative-pressure rooms,
ultra-modern ventilation, natural light, spaciousness and many other features have all
been vital in the treatment of COVID-19 patients over the past year.

presence of variants in schools, and the impact of these two factors in the fight against
COVID-19.

Hundreds of CIUSSS staffers and recruits are stepping up to take part in the historic COVID-
19 vaccination campaign. More than just delivering doses of vaccine, they’re offering a jab
