As a province with a serious epidemic, Ontario recently discovered several new strains infected with the UK, which made the epidemic worse. Although on the province's first COVID-19 vaccinator had completed the first shot about two weeks ago, the first case in Canada. But data shows that the proportion of vaccination in Ontario is much lower than that in other provinces.

Biostatistician Ryan Imgrund posted a statistical table on Twitter on the 27th, which showed that Ontario's current vaccination rate per 100,000 people is the lowest among all provinces that have received the Pfizer vaccine.
data shows that 59 out of every 100,000 people in Ontario have been vaccinated, ranking only ahead of the Nunavut area, Northwest Territories area and Yukon area. And these three regions have not received vaccines yet.

According to the Ontario government website, 10,756 people in Ontario had been vaccinated before December 24.
Toronto Vaccine Response Group Chairman General Rick Hiller said at a press conference on the 7th that the first batch of vaccines arrived in Ontario on the 13th is expected to have 85,000.
Pfizer vaccine requires vaccinated people to get the vaccine twice, with a 21-day interval between the period. The Ontario government has decided to reserve half of the vaccines that have arrived to prevent supply chain breakage from unreceived vaccines.
"Given that we have learned very little supply information and are not sure when the next batch of vaccines will arrive, we decided to be more cautious than make mistakes," Hiller said at a press conference on the 11th.
But according to CBC, more and more people are now reaching a consensus that provinces should receive as many vaccinations as possible. Because the new model predicts that every extra person is vaccinated, the more effective it can control the potential infection risk.
It is reported that the Moderna vaccine recently approved by the Health Canada Ministry of Health does not require it to be stored in particularly low temperature environments like the Pfizer vaccine, so it is considered to be more convenient for delivery.
At noon on the 28th, the Ontario government updated the information on its website saying that due to insufficient staff during Christmas, the government suspended vaccination and has now resumed. According to Global News, by noon on the 28th, Ontario had vaccinated 12,148 people.
Ontario government's move to postpone the vaccination on the grounds of insufficient staff in the hospital has been criticized by many parties. Ontario's New Democratic Party leader Andrea Horwath said it was "problematic" and "disturbing".
Ontario Liberal Party leader Steven Del Duca also issued a statement saying that the progress of the vaccine should not be delayed.
, a family doctor from Brighton, Ontario, believes that "it is ridiculous that the hospital wants to suspend or postpone the vaccination. Because the hospital operates 24 hours a day and is not different from holidays, it is not reasonable at all. This is a completely different public health crisis from the past. Many medical workers are happy to stand up and even volunteer to help complete the vaccine injection."
The Ontario Health Department has not yet responded to this.
