For people living in Nunavik, including many Inuit, getting the vaccine is crucial because there are no local ICU beds. In order to encourage people to get the shot, health officials in the region have launched a social media campaign made up of testimonials of people who have gotten it. The health board has also deployed buses in larger towns like Kuujjuaq to facilitate access for residents. "At the very beginning, a lot of people weren't sure about the vaccine and how new it was," said Gordon. He joined in the social media campaign, hoping others would follow his example.
