Canada is lagging behind other countries but that could change in a few months time, says microbiologist and author Jason Tetro.
A microbiologist says Canada's in a position it's not used to being in when it comes to rolling out COVID-19 vaccines — lagging behind others.
Jason Tetro, a microbiologist and author, told CBC Radio's
Saskatchewan Weekend that Canada was behind countries like Israel, the United Kingdom and the United States who are front runners in vaccine distribution. 
He said Canada was about 60th in terms of the percentage of Canadian's who've received their first dose of COVID-19 vaccine. In terms of full vaccinations, he added, Canada sits at 50th worldwide.
