Older Canadians still face barriers to getting vaccinated against COVID-19
“Eliminating the barriers older Canadians face in accessing COVID-19 vaccines is critical,” said Dr. Samir Sinha, Director of Health Policy Research at the NIA and lead author of the newly released report, If Older Canadians Want a COVID-19 Vaccine, Why Is Canada Struggling to Get Them Vaccinated?, in a statement Thursday.
“Providing older adults with vaccination is a highly efficient and effective strategy for protecting Canada’s most vulnerable population while also slowing the virus’ spread.”
