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

SCOOP: What I've found out about the #COVID19 modelling that Premier Doug Ford says will make you "fall off your chair." #COVID19Ontario
cbc.ca/news/canada/to…
All of this information comes from multiple sources who have seen the modelling, which was presented to cabinet on Friday.
However, the Ford government is not planning to release it publicly until tomorrow, nor announce any new restrictions until tomorrow. #COVID19Ontario
Sources say the modelling suggests Ontario is on track to report an average of 6,000 new cases of #COVID19 daily before the end of this month. That would be 10X as high as the peak of the first wave. #COVID19Ontario
