Assessing Canada's COVID-19 rollout

A new report released today from the NIA takes a look at Canada's vaccine rollout strategy, with a focus on older adults. "What we found was, every province and territory implemented their strategy differently, they interpreted the guidance from NACI differently, and that potentially had deadly consequences, in addition to the slow initial supply of vaccines. Delaying second doses in some places had quite deadly consequences, especially in Ontario," says Dr. Samir Sinha, NIA Director of Health Policy Research.
