One on one with Dr. Homer Tien, the new head of Ontario's vaccine task force

from This Matters · host Toronto Star

Today we speak with Dr. Homer Tien, the new head of Ontario's vaccine task force. This is the first time Dr. Tien is talking about vaccines for the province on Ontario since he assumed the lead of the task force. He's served 25 years as a trauma surgeon with the Canadian Forces, worked as a trauma surgeon at Sunnybrook Hospital and is now the president and CEO of Ornge, Ontario's air ambulance service. We get into details of the confusion around Ontario's vaccine rollout, the province's supply and where vaccines are going, and how communication could always be better.
