COVID-19 vaccine may be available, but some EMS workers are having difficulty accessing it "I'm not throwing this back at the hospitals or healthcare community," said YREMS Chief Joe Stevens. "This all goes directly to the top."

Didn't see that one coming,'" said Chief Joe Stevens of York Regional Emergency Medical Services.
