Ontario’s science advisory table says half of the available vaccine doses should now be allocated to 74 hot spot neighbourhoods, as opposed to allocation based on age demographic.
The group of scientific experts and health system leaders says focusing on hot spot neighbourhoods where COVID-19 infection rates are highest and residents are less likely to be able to work from home would reduce hospitalizations by 14 per cent and deaths by 11 per cent. The table says the current approach, which has largely focused on vaccinating people based on age, health condition or status as a resident of a congregate care setting, has left some of those most at risk least likely to receive a shot.The table’s analysis shows residents of neighbourhoods with the lowest risk of COVID-19 are 1.5 times more likely to have received at least one shot.
To quell the virus, the table says the province could move to a hot spot-accelerated vaccination strategy, where half of Ontario’s shots are allocated to 74 neighbourhoods with the highest COVID-19 incidence levels. It says the remaining half could be equally distributed across the province, but noted there could be additional benefits if Ontario further prioritized workers in warehouses, factories and other facilities with large numbers of outbreaks.
Now, 31 million Canadian adults need vaccinating with the prescribed two dose regimen. The administrative triage of accepting one dose as 'good enough' coverage is comparable to modifying a nutrition chart to half-rations to fictionally eliminate starvation.
I won’t vote for anyone that I feel is racist....so Liberals out, Conservatives out, maybe NDP ewww, commies or worse Bernier. What a world but at least they are not racist against my children and grandchildren.
Racists
That only makes sense doesn’t it?
Their received wisdom is a fraternal relative of the media-Liberal fiction that casually castigates struggling provinces for not fully vaccinating while strategically forgetting about the starvation level supply of vaccine from Trudeau Procurement Central Committee.
This is brilliant transactional politicking by medical gentry who blithely ignore the vaccine scarcity that keeps provincial public health authorities from blanketing 'hot spots'.
Be careful people. RBC visa investigation department scams people now days. Do not trust on them. Someone in RBC shares our information outside. Save your hard working money, don’t get targeted
What are about the rest of Ontarionian who paid equivalent tax? Why should the rest of Ontarionian get treated differently? Or should the rest of Ontarionian wait for getting COVID before getting vaccinated? fordnation
The science table needs to speak to the ICUs doctors as they clearly said that one of the root cause is that essential is loosely defined. Is manufacturing sofas & jersey essential? JustinTrudeau fordnation JohnTory patrickbrownont
The Ontario science table needs to be fired. We've lost the battle to COVID. I'm tired of reading over and over that the rest of the province doesn't matter. The Ford government said yes and bumped bad hot spots for PC ridings. We all lose.
What the heck is Ontario Science Table, and why are we giving them press? There is a guy in my neighbourhood who yells at clouds. Would you like to interview him too?
Stfu with the science table already. Oh my god. They’re in hot spots, the problem is you have losers like brucearthur TorontoStar, a privileged white guy who’s going to minority hotspot Scarborough for shot. He’s literally taking a vaccine away from someone at higher risk. 🐷
