Ontario to Unveil Updated Vaccine Plan

Ontario's health minister says the plan will actor in today's expected arrival of the AstraZeneca vaccine.

Christine Elliott says they are just waiting for guidance from Ottawa on potentially extending the time between the first and second doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines

She says extending the gap to four months would make a ``considerable'' difference in the vaccine rollout.

As for the Oxford-AstraZeneca shot, she says since there's limited data on its effectiveness in older populations, seniors won't receive it in Ontario
