Senior residents isolating at Grand Wood retirement home following COVID-19 outbreak

Dr. Samir Sinha, NIA Director of Health Policy Research, says the best way to prevent future outbreaks is to ensure staff are doubled dosed.

"If we can get 99 per cent of our residents vaccinated we need to have 99 per cent of our staff vaccinated too. It still puts a number of residents at risk, I don’t really believe that health care workers should have the right to necessarily put frail vulnerable people in their care at risk."
