This is a central issue: the province is treating vaccination like an all-out emergency, but there are no accompanying restrictions. Which tells me the provincial government remains exceedingly reluctant to impose any province-wide restrictions, again

This was always part of the challenge in terms of ramping up: there was limited extra capacity in many parts of the vaccination system. Related: I think disbanding the vaccine task force in August may have been a mistake.

This is another part of the challenge. The province has been on autopilot since the summer.
