COVID-19 vaccine in Ontario has been compared to a scavenger hunt. It’s been a bumpy rollout for the vaccination campaign that began last December with long-term care residents, front-line health-care workers and others at high risk.Some have reported technical challenges with the provincial booking system, difficulty accessing vaccination sites and confusion over the wide range of possible clinics and shifting eligibility across regions.Those with the time, technology and ability to hunt for available doses have had an advantage in the search.
Workplace and mobile clinics, in-home vaccinations and pop-ups in at-risk neighbourhoods are working to close the vaccination gap.
