Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: When I arrived in Canada from Ethiopia in 2018, I believed in vaccines. I grew up in Addis Ababa, but my parents are Eritrean, so I have a diverse background. My childhood memories include lining up at local clinics for vaccines. For example, lots of people were excited to get the polio vaccine
