ELLIOTT: Ontario Collaborates with Industry Experts to Plan the COVID-19 Vaccine Rollout

The Ontario government is collaborating with leaders and experts in a wide variety of sectors, including pharmaceuticals, health care and logistics, to develop a plan for the safe and efficient distribution of COVID-19 vaccines when they become available. Partnerships across these sectors are critical as Ontario prepares to handle one of the largest vaccine rollouts in its history. Today, Christine Elliott, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health, Solicitor General Sylvia Jones and General Rick Hillier (retired), Chair of the Ministers' COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution Task Force, toured McKesson, a pharmaceutical distribution company. McKesson's warehouse in Brampton is the type of facility that could be instrumental in the storage and distribution of a COVID-19 vaccine.
