For millions of Torontonians, the search for a vaccine is the Holy Grail quest of the Covid era. And it’s no small task given the constantly changing rules, last-minute cancellations and hush-hush pop-up clinics that you only hear about when they’re over.

By his estimate, the community-run effort has connected thousands of (eligible!) Canadian arms with jabs.
