Frustration grows among seniors and caregivers over Ontario's COVID-19 vaccine rollout
By: Perlita Stroh
Dr. Samir Sinha, director of health policy research at the NIA has been advocating for the Ontario government to change course and he's grateful it has, but he adds that seniors living in their homes should have been closer to the front of the line for inoculations from the beginning.
"This is absolutely the right thing to do, and it's frankly long overdue," Dr. Sinha said. "Age is the greatest risk factor for getting sick and dying from COVID-19, so that needs to be considered when administering vaccines."
