Anita Quidangen is the first person in Ontario to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. The Toronto-based personal support worker at long-term care home Rekai Centre at Sherbourne Place was injected this morning with the Pfizer-BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccine shortly before noon. She was one of five long-term care workers to receive the two-shot vaccine in Toronto today. According to University Health Network (UHN), the vaccinations took place at the Michener Institute for Education, which has been set up as the pilot site for long-term care home workers to receive doses in Toronto. The vaccine arrived earlier than expected, allowing Ontario to begin immunizing long-term care workers as part of the pilot stage of a three-phase vaccine rollout plan on Monday instead of Tuesday as initially planned.
