After nearly two years of “managing” the pandemic, one would have hoped the Ontario government would have the hang of it, but no, not even close.
Last week, Premier Doug Ford announced that everyone over 18 would be eligible for booster shots, starting Monday. “Nothing matters more than getting these third shots into arms,” he said. The message was reinforced by his science advisory table, which portrayed the boosters as the best hope of staving off Omicron doom.
Come Monday, big surprise, booster shots were either difficult or impossible to book. People booking through Toronto Public Health were offered times in February. Ottawa Public Health had no appointments available through its site Monday. A search of Ottawa and Toronto pharmacy web sites revealed some appointments in February and March.
