Ford slams feds over pilot program that will start inoculating inmates with COVID-19 vaccine on Friday

Premier Doug Ford is slamming the federal government’s decision to administer the COVID-19 vaccine to some inmates before inoculating all long-term care home residents, as part of a pilot program starting this week.

Ford made the remarks on Wednesday during his first COVID-19 press conference of the year at Pearson Airport.

“Let’s not give the most dangerous criminals in our country the vaccine before we give it to our long-term care patients, most vulnerable and other elderly people,” Ford said.
