“Canada hadn’t anticipated getting vaccines until sort of 2021, so they came a bit early,” she said.
Ontario faced criticism after slowing its vaccination campaign over the holidays to give health-care staff a break. Retired general Rick Hillier, who is overseeing Ontario’s rollout, apologized, admitting it had been a mistake.
Berry said January will be the real test of what provinces can do.
“What will be more telling is seeing what happens the next couple of weeks, the holiday season has passed, as things are ramping up and getting back into normal swing,” she said. “That’s when we’ll be able to better see how well-oiled the machine is to deliver these vaccines.”
On Monday, Ontario began administering the second shot to those health-care workers who received the first doses of the vaccine last month. Both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines require two doses for a person to be fully vaccinated.
Premier Doug Ford, who was present as the five workers received their shots, acknowledged there have been “a few bumps in the road” in the province’s immunization campaign but said he is confident in Hillier’s plan.
“We’re ramping it up and you’re going to see a significant difference over the next few weeks,” the premier said.
In total as of Sunday, Ontario received 148,350 doses and administered 37,551, Quebec received 88,075 and administered 28,762, Alberta has been shipped 46,150, but put just 17,244 doses into arms and B.C. received 54,625 doses, while administering just 17,510.
