Dr. Kathleen MacLellan:

On nursing homes, we understand there has been an extremely high level of uptake both among residents and staff. There may be staff who, for medical or other reasons, have not taken up the vaccine but our information is that there has been an extremely high level of uptake. Compared with international rates, our healthcare staff have really stood up to the plate in taking up vaccinations in the interests of the safety of the residents and patients they look after.
