SEGMENT 4: TORONTO'S VACCINE ROLLOUT Libby Znaimer is joined by Fire Chief Matthew Pegg, the city's head of emergency management during the COVID-19 pandemic. Solicitor General Sylvia Jones has said that the AstraZeneca vaccine will be "very targeted" towards adults between 60-64. This follows the NACI recommendation that doses of this particular vaccine not be administered to those over the age of 65. But how will this decision impact the vaccine rollout here in Toronto for adults over the age of 80?
