TORONTO -- Vaccine Hunters Canada, the social media sensation responsible for helping thousands of Canadians get vaccinated against COVID-19, is wrapping up day-to-day social media operations Tuesday, as its creators focus on their consolidated website.

Originally created in March, Vaccine Hunters Canada quickly grew on social media, with accounts on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok and Discord. At its peak, had more than 400,000 followers on Twitter.

It was run entirely by volunteers, something founder and director of Vaccine Hunters Canada Andrew Young is extremely proud of.

鈥淚 feel like the biggest accomplishment, aside from getting eligible Canadians their vaccines, is our team,鈥 Young said on CTV鈥檚 Your Morning Tuesday. 鈥淭he story of a group of strangers, volunteers, coming together to help Canadians.鈥

Young founded the organization after attempting to book vaccine appointments for his mother and father in mid-March, when vaccines were scarce and information scattered. Seeing a U.S. site called 鈥淰accine Hunter.org鈥 inspired him to make a Canadian version.

And while Young said the team doesn鈥檛 know how many Canadians his team helped, by his estimate, if every one of their 400,000 Twitter followers helped three friends or family members to book appointments 鈥 Vaccine Hunters Canada helped roughly 1.2 million people get inoculated.

Now that approximately 75 per cent of eligible Canadians have been fully vaccinated, Young says will be a one-stop-shop for those who still need to get their first or second doses.

鈥淭he website will become a central point, people can go to the 鈥渇ind your immunization鈥 option or FYI for short, enter their postal code and it will return vaccine availability in nearby pharmacies,鈥 Young explained.

鈥淭he second option is vaccine DIY or 鈥渄o it yourself鈥 鈥 where you can find pop-up or walk in clinics across the country in each region,鈥 he continued. 鈥淚f you can鈥檛 find your vaccine through those two services, our third service is called 鈥渧accine SOS鈥 鈥 you can submit a webform and fill it out with what you鈥檙e looking for (first or second dose) and our volunteers will respond to it with personalized advice and it will be sent to your email inbox.鈥

Young said the pay-it-forward spirit will continue throughout the organization鈥檚 next chapter.

The 鈥淔ind your immunization鈥 tool on their site is open-source, and was created by volunteer developers on the team, paving the way for other countries to use it in their own vaccine rollout.

Young hinted at a big announcement 鈥渋n the coming days鈥 with Ontario鈥檚 University Health Network, and said that his team had been in contact with the World Health Organization to see if they can assist other countries during the pandemic.
