No lifting restrictions until cases ‘well below’ 1,000 a day: Ontario’s top doctor
Dr. Nathan Stall, Associate Fellow at the NIA and Assistant Scientific Director for the province’s COVID-19 Science Advisory Table, said adults 80 and over have the highest rates of hospital admissions and deaths from COVID-19 after receiving a single vaccine dose. With an increase in supply, he said older populations should now be prioritized for second doses.
“They continue to be the people who are dying the most in our province,” he said. “Older adults are also very, very fearful and sheltered and in some respects have been the most impacted by restrictive public health measures.”
