The update by Rick Hillier is complete [1]. For Ontario residents, the key new information: - clinic holiday shutdown was a mistake; daily operation will now be the norm - first Moderna shipment arrives within 24 hrs, will be distributed outside clinics - the vaccination rate is currently limited by supply - 80K Pfizer / 50K Moderna per week in January - Phase 1 (vulnerable and health care workers): Jan-Mar (~1M) - Phase 2 (expanded distribution): Apr-Jul (~8M vaccinated total) - sentiment: over 80% of population willing to vaccinate as soon as possible - Hillier requested that Health Canada consider a 1-dose Moderna regiment [1] https://youtu.be/dy0ctRiU2IM?t=1008 https://youtu.be/dy0ctRiU2IM?t=1008
