The Ford Government announced funding today to ensure people with disabilities and transportation issues will get vaccinated, either by mobile clinics or bringing them to the vaccine sites.
ONTARIO - The Ontario Government is investing $3.7 million to help ensure everyone can get vaccinated.
The money will be used to help people with disabilities, where transportation is an issue get the shot. Premier Doug Ford says the Province is launching this initiative to remove that barrier and ensure that anyone who wants a vaccine is able to get a vaccine.
"It is critically important to ensure that our most vulnerable get the protection of a COVID-19 vaccine and that's why we are doing everything we can to remove any and all barriers. In our 2021 Budget we are providing funding to help people get to the vaccines, or to bring the vaccines to them. The health and safety of our seniors and people with disabilities is a top priority."
Ontario will work with local communities and public health units, to implement this vital service for those who need assistance. Minister of Finance Peter Bethlenfalvy says more details on how this program will work will be available in the coming days.
"At community centres, doctors' offices, pharmacies and hospitals across the province our health care workers are delivering vaccines that will help us get back to normal; that's what hope looks like," said Minister Bethlenfalvy. "Tomorrow's Budget will prioritize funding to vaccinate every person who wants to be vaccinated, as soon as vaccine shipments arrive. Nothing will prevent us from getting the job done."
The program involves transporting people to sites and in some cases bringing mobile units to vulnerable people.
