NEW: Update with lots more specifics about Ontario's #COVID19 vaccine distribution plan. Here's the overview slide, just presented to reporters during a technical briefing. #COVID19Ontario 
Ontario's #COVID19 vaccine distribution task force says residents, workers and essential caregivers in all long-term care homes *across the province* and all high-risk retirement homes are to get a first dose of vaccine by Feb 15. #COVID19Ontario
NEW: Ontario is *considering* whether to extend the interval between 1st & 2nd vaccine doses. Nat'l Advisory Committee on Immunization says provs could consider extending up to 6 weeks, given limited supply, urgency of protecting vulnerable, initial dose having 90%+ efficacy.
As of last night, Ontario has administered 144,784 doses of #COVID19 vaccines, using up roughly all the Pfizer-BioNTech supply it had received as of last week. The province received approx 50,000 doses of Pfizer yesterday. Here is its schedule for fresh supplies #COVID19Ontario
Although Gen Rick Hillier said Ontario could ramp up to administering 50,000 vaccine doses/day, this slide from Ontario officials about the province's capacity over the next couple of months shows "baseline capacity" maxing out at 35,000/day as of early February. #COVID19Ontario
