We got an update today from the head of Ontario’s vaccination rollout team.
Retired Gen. Rick Hillier elaborated on the next sector of the population in line for the COVID-19 vaccine.
“We don’t think we can get at it right in the first week or 10 days of March but by the middle of March, we want to be able to start vaccinating those 80 years of age and older and we will be reaching out to them in the next week to two weeks to tell them when their opportunity is going to be,” said Hillier.
