Called @TOPublicHealth this morning. After 1h+ hold, I explained to the rep I’m in a “hot zone” and an educator.

Her (utterly dejected): Don’t listen to the media, the system won’t let you make an appointment.

Me: The gov’t said this directly.

Her: I know.

1/2

Me: I’m so sorry, you’ve probably been dealing with this all morning.

Her: Every. Single. Call.

The @fordnation gov’t makes announcements and proclamations — that’s it. No plan for implementation.

Those on the front lines always have to bear the brunt.

UPDATE:
Got an email for my board saying the following:

“Staff who live in one of the high priority areas can book their appointment directly with the provincial vaccine clinic. To book your appointment, please call the Provincial Vaccine Information Line...”

So I call...

...and the automated message says appointments can only be booked through your local health unit!

I really just don’t know anymore.
