Premier to Update Vaccination Plan

Media conference set for this morning

Premier Doug Ford will be providing an update on the province's vaccination plan at 10:30 this morning.

He'll be joined by the Minister of Health Christine Elliott and Solicitor General Sylvia Jones.

No word on whether he will give any indication about where he stands on students returning to classrooms next month.

He penned a letter to 55 groups and individuals including children's hospitals asking for input on whether it is safe for children to return to school.

He has given the group until 5 pm to respond.

What we don't know is how long it will take for the province to make a decision after that, although some school boards have said they could be ready for in-class instruction in a matter of days.
