Now Toronto

Last week, the province of Ontario announced a scaling up of its vaccination efforts, with adults 18-49 in designated hot spots newly eligible for their first dose. The problem? The system wasn’t set up for those people, and that’s just one example of the province’s confused pandemic messaging. Bhutila Karpoche, NDP member of provincial parliament for Parkdale-High Park, Maureen Gans, senior director of client services for Parkdale Queen West Community Health Centre and Joe Cressy, councillor for Ward 10 and chair of the Toronto Board of Health, talk to Norm about how they’re working to get vaccines to the people who most need them.
