The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) has prepared this toolkit to help you participate in various activities throughout the year, and specifically during Antibiotic Awareness Week from November 13-18, 2017. It includes key messages, social media messages, information about new activities, and links to resources from PHAC and other programs.

Antimicrobial resistance, also known as antibiotic resistance, is a growing problem that affects all of us. Only when we all work together with a shared understanding of the challenges we face will we be able to slow the spread of antimicrobial resistance and protect our access to these life-saving tools. The attached kit is a great resource for veterinary professionals to better understand antimicrobial resistance and what they can do to raise awareness and promote responsible antimicrobial usage.
