One of Canada’s largest nursing and retirement home chains reveals low vaccination rate among staff, asks government for help

Fewer than half of all workers employed by one of Canada’s largest nursing and retirement home chains were vaccinated against COVID-19 as of last week.

Only 45 per cent of roughly 20,000 staff in Revera Inc. homes nationwide were vaccinated, according to a letter the company sent to Ontario government officials on March 29.

Full disclosure, I have booked my covid jab appointment at one of the city’s mass vaccination sites. If I find out they’re serving up AstraZeneca it’s off.
