Dr. Eileen de Villa answers questions about back-to-school plan, the delta variant, Toronto's vaccination strategy and other COVID-related concerns.
In her weekly segment with CP24, Dr. Eileen de Villa, Toronto's medical officer of health, answers viewer questions about COVID-19, including vaccines, variants, and the latest public health measures.
CP24: Earlier, you talked about shifting the vaccine strategy from mass vaccine clinics to hyperlocal sites. Is this exactly along the lines of how the city plan to roll things out all along? Or have you sort of had to go back to the drawing board to try and find the unvaccinated or the vaccine-hesitant?
CP24: A viewer says Dr. Moore, Ontario's chief medical officer of health, said there would be different rules for unvaccinated and vaccinated students and staff. The viewer wants to know how schools will know who is vaccinated and who is not. CP24: A viewer asks, how many children 12 and under are testing positive daily? Should we be concerned that it will now move into that population because none of them are vaccinated?
