"Older Canadians continue to experience the highest risk of serious illness and death as a result of COVID-19. They are also the most willing to be vaccinated. However, reports across the country reveal growing, and potentially deadly, gaps between the number of older adults who want the vaccine and those who have been vaccinated. A report released by the National Institute on Ageing (NIA) shows that low uptake of COVID-19 vaccines among older Canadians is not due to lack of demand or supply, but rather is a matter of access. It proposes five policy recommendations that would support provincial and territorial governments to deliver vaccines more quickly and equitably to older Canadians and save the most lives." - If Older Canadians Want a COVID-19 Vaccine, Why Is Canada Struggling to Get Them Vaccinated
