The Toronto Star – Speeding up Ontario’s vaccine rollout could save the lives of more than 100 residents in long-term care, Doug Ford’s science panel says
Laura Tamblyn Watts, CEO of CanAge, a national seniors’ advocacy organization, said Ontario’s COVID-19 vaccine rollout is “costing lives every day.” By not focusing on our most vulnerable seniors in long-term-care, we are losing parents, loved ones, and mentors every day,” she said. She added that the province must begin a 24-hour-a-day, seven-days-a-week vaccination campaign for long-term care residents and then vulnerable seniors in the community.
