Toronto Star - Why Ontario experts fear Omicron could cause another deadly wave in long-term care

Dr. Samir Sinha, Director of Health Policy Research, said there’s no reason why the province couldn’t launch a third-dose vaccination push for long-term-care staff similar to that for residents in late August.

“When you already have an understaffed system, and then there’s a risk that staff are more likely to get infected and potentially get sick and be off, that puts everybody more at risk,” he said, noting he believes it’s “inevitable” a number of homes will see Omicron outbreaks.
