Johnson & Johnson vaccine is coming to Canada. How do we use it best? You could argue — and many are — that it may now matter more which arms are getting the jab rather than how many arms getting the jab, but for this analysis, we’re just looking at the rate at which a province receives vaccine and gets it through the distribution system and into arms.Ideally, a dose would be delivered by Ottawa to a province and the province would see that dose get immediately into an arm.
That would be a vaccine gap of zero. Zero per cent of all vaccines delivered end up in overnight storage. 100 per cent go right into an arm.But we know vaccine delivery is “lumpy”.
