This Is Our Shot

This Is Our Shot was a Canadian mass promotional campaign for COVID-19 vaccines. It made use of the slogan "#TogetherAgain" on social media.

History

This Is Our Shot was launched on April 28, 2021.[1] Less than three weeks later, the campaign coordinated with Peel Public Health to host a vaccination site at Embassy Grand Convention Centre in Brampton, Ontario.[2]

Organization

The campaign was reportedly "conceptualized by a coalition of doctors and COVID-19 task forces that focused on ethnic communities including the South Asian COVID Task Force, 19 to Zero, Latin American Covid Task Force, Black Physicians of Canada, Canadian Muslim COVID-19 Task Force, Siksika Health Services and BlackNorth Initiative."[3]
