COVID Shots Won’t Be Mandatory For Back To School

Doug Ford has been adamant that he wants to see as many doses administered for in-class learning to resume safely this fall.

“Proven that it works. You look at our long-term care homes. You look at the cases coming down. You look at the ICU numbers coming down. So, it’s going in a positive trend because the vaccinations. They work. Do I believe enforcing anyone taking them? No, I don’t.”

Instead, Ford says over the summer break he will continue to encourage and educate people on the importance of getting your shot.
