It is clear Premier Doug Ford won’t make the hard decisions and is leaving it up to medical officers of health, local hospitals, individual businesses and corporations to do it, says health columnist Dr. Peter Zalan

The rationale behind who needs to be vaccinated and who doesn’t, don’t make a lot of sense to Dr. Peter Zalan, who implores Ontario health officials to ‘seize the moment’ on the rules

‘Is it reasonable to expect the province or the school boards to subsidize individuals who refuse vaccination, when such action may harm the students in their charge?’

‘Our community needs all the help it can get to administer vaccines,’ says former head of the medical staff at Health Sciences North

‘Premier, act decisively on the recommendations of your Science Advisory Table,’ says columnist Dr. Peter Zalan
