Thanks to funds from the KB Staff Lotto, Buzzy Vaccine Booster Injection Support tools have been purchased for Kiro Wellness Centre Public Health and other public health centres across the Kootenay Boundary region. These adorable devices use a combination of vibration and cold therapy, working 10 times faster than topical anaesthetics to provide quick relief and distraction for young patients.

The Public Health team at Kiro—Jenny, Jeannine, Tara, and Leanne—are grateful for these devices, which help make the vaccination experience less stressful and more comfortable for children. Thank you for supporting initiatives that enhance patient care in our community!
