Why some Canadians believe delaying their COVID-19 vaccination is the ethical choice

TORONTO -- With vaccine supply increasing and provinces getting more shots in arms, some Canadians are wondering if it’s ethical to take the shot if they’re not among the most vulnerable to COVID-19.

She’s been able to maintain masking, physical distancing and pandemic guidelines since the start, and is comfortable continuing with that until her age group is called up for the vaccine. Sachs harbours no ill will against those who do want to do everything in their power to get the vaccine as soon as possible.

She wants to be able to go back to serving this summer without having to worry about bringing the virus home to her dad. It’s a complicated situation not made easier by any clear guidance on who the vaccine rollout is meant to target. “There's something to be said for just utilization, for saying the faster we vaccinate, the sooner we get through it. So, if there's an appointment, then to take it and go. I think it's a little early for that,” said Colin Furness, infection control epidemiologist at the University of Toronto.

“Provincial policy and vaccination campaign strategy is actually of pivotal importance here. Focusing on what steps various [local health authorities] might take to reach those marginalized folks would be really important,” said Furness.

Opportunity arises take the shot.. be able to ethically question yourself while alive and well.

How many people that have already been vaccinated are in the cases/hospitals? This should also be tracked in an effort to build trust amongst the weary

I waited till My Turn came Up... And Then I gladly.. And Thankfully Booked My Appointment... And Received My First Last Week!!

I think a lot of people are weary about this blood clot thing. Ethics has nothing to do with it.

This is the only rationale you need.

To all who are waiting to take the AZvaccine whenever you feel is the right ethical time, please do so after April 30. Thanks.
