Not going that well over here, record breaking number of people in the ICU in Ontario, record breaking numbers in British Columbia and vaccine hesitancy on the rise due to controversies around the Astrazeneca vaccine. It's temporarily delayed for anyone under 55 due to risk of blood clots.

The latest poll shows 69% of Canadians intend to take it when available, 18% unsure, 13% no. In some places they were already lowering the age because of running out of people showing up for the vaccine. People rather have Pfizer or Moderna since Astrazeneca has a PR problem here. (It's the one we ordered most of) It's mostly due do conflicting messaging as usual, different guidelines per province, on hold here, not there, on/off. The government needs to get its act together and start to provide clear one voice messaging about the vaccines.
