Trained dogs visit vax clinics
Therapy dogs are being brought to COVID-19 vaccination clinics to help people — including children — who are nervous about getting their shots. At some facilities in Sas- katchewan, Quebec and British Co- lumbia, children and adults who have a fear of needles or who worry about getting a protective jab against COVID-19 can sit next to a dog and pet them to reduce anxiety. In some vaccination clinics in Que- bec, the trained dogs sit on people's laps or lie down next to them.
