Yes, anti-vaxxers are loud online and in person, but they're a small unit.

The true vaccination story of Toronto is one of success.

As of Tuesday, 81.5%, meaning 2.28 million people, have have two doses in Toronto. 86.1% (2.48 million people), have had one.

The city has seen a 7 per cent decrease in vaccine hesitancy since March 2021, they say.

So, how can we reach that 90%? Recognizing concerns among the hesitant and barriers to vaccine access, @joe_cressy and @drandrewb say.

That includes health care staff answering questions, to setting up vaccine sites in malls, subway stations and more.

"The disturbing behaviour of anti-vax protesters outside our hospitals targeting the very people who have given everything will forever be a mark of shame for those involved, whether they acknowledge that or not. But there is hope to be had." thestar.com/opinion/contri…

We cannot let a vocal minority change the truth of our city’s COVID vaccine story — which is that we, as a city, have largely come together, and must continue to do so, @joe_cressy and @drandrewb write #InTheirOwnVoices

Anti-vaxxers are loud, but small as a unit. Toronto’s true vaccination story is one of success.
