Saskatoon’s very own “superhero,” Morgan MacFarlane, is aiming to kick COVID-19 to the curb with her “V for Vaccination! V for Victory!” campaign.
Ten-year-old MacFarlane, also known as “Kid Cap,” got her nickname by dressing up as her favourite superhero, Captain America.
She says she and her family started the campaign because she wants people to stay safe.
“Kids my age can’t get vaccinated so we need to make sure the adults around us are,” said MacFarlane.
For the last month, Kid Cap and her family have been encouraging people to show their support by sharing a photo or video of themselves holding up their index and middle fingers in the shape of a V to represent both vaccination and victory.
They have reached out to many frontline workers and local celebrities to get their support for the cause.
