Booking a shot isn't simple. The frustration and inequality of Ontario's vaccine rollout

from This Matters

The Ontario government says vaccine focus and eligibility have expanded to high risk postal codes where they say are residents who are essential workers, low-income and/or racialized, but many who need it most still don't have access while wave three of the COVID pandemic is showing no sign of slowing down. Today on "This Matters," we take a look at how difficult it's been for Ontarians to navigate the vaccine rollout framework and why those with the most means and resources, not necessarily those most at risk, might still be the ones getting a shot sooner. Guests: Ray Lai, Markham Vaccinates co-organizer and Toronto Star reporter Olivia Bowden
