CTV News - Doctor fears 'vaccine Hunger Games 2.0' for Ontario seniors looking to book second dose

“So they (the province) has neither reserved doses for these older adults for second shots, nor have they guaranteed them bookings,” says Dr. Nathan Stall, NIA Associate Fellow. “So this is going to create, I fear, the sort of vaccine ‘Hunger Games’ 2.0 for these older adults, where they're now being asked to go back onto the multiple booking systems through multiple sites.”

He said rather than put the onus on seniors to re-book their appointments, the province should have proactively reached out to seniors to offer them earlier appointments.
