Are we reopening too fast or too slow?

Many Canadians over 70 have not yet received their second COVID-19 vaccine dose. That's raised questions about potential risks to our elders as provinces begin to open up. Dr. Samir Sinha is the Director of Geriatrics at Mount Sinai and UHN, and NIA Director of Health Policy Research.

"Before we reopen up too quickly, we need to make sure as many of these vulnerable people across Canada get their second doses, and if they haven't had their first dose we need to get those in too" says Dr. Sinha.
