Everything you need to know about Ontario's vaccine passport plan

from This Matters · host Toronto Star

Guest: Rob Ferguson, Queen's Park reporter at The Star After months of debate, Ontario has revealed details of its vaccine passport program. Called late and inconsistent by critics, Premier Doug Ford admitted he was reluctant to bring in such a program due to fears of a "split society." There are still many questions about how exactly the program will work, but with Delta variant case counts rising, schools starting back up and fears of another lockdown on the horizon, proponents hope that vaccine certificates can be another tool in helping to slow down the fourth wave of the pandemic. With a backdrop of increasing protests around these measures around the country, a Queen's Park insider discusses what changed this government's mind and how they will navigate what comes next.
