SAINT JOHN, N.B. More vaccine selfies are appearing on Maritime social media feeds as eligibility for getting a shot widens across the region. Dr. Jeff Steeves, president of the New Brunswick Medical Society, says the online posts may provide a boost confidence for those who are vaccine hesitant. “Because some of the people that might be labelled as vaccine hesitant aren’t really anti-vaxxers,” Steeves says. “They don’t want to be told what to do, they might be a little unsure, they want a little more confidence with time. So seeing their friends and families and neighbours get the shot gives them that reassurance.”
