And that was a situation where we had 4-8 months of prep time. We didn't know when the vaccines would come, but we knew they would, and we were unable to start deployment quicky.
So I no longer have trust that when we do start getting millions per week, that deployment will ramp up. It is unacceptable if we have wait 2-4 weeks while vaccines sit in freezers because our government wasn't prepared for something that was entirely expected.
That's some deaths that could have been avoid, how many, I really cannot tell. Not massive numbers, though, as the number of doses is still fairly small.
The provinces really need to quickly ramp up the readiness for mass vaccination. I haven't seen anything that would give me the confidence that any of them are ready for this yet.
