Majority of Canadians find their expected vaccine waiting time acceptable, given the circumstances

A new study by the Angus Reid Institute has taken a look at the perceptions of how long people in Canada will have to wait to receive their COVID-19 vaccine. According to the study, just 24% of Canadians feel that their expected vaccination timeframe is unacceptable. The majority of the respondents in the survey found the timeframe for their own vaccination to be either acceptable (18%) or okay, given the circumstances (51%).

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has repeatedly claimed that everyone in Canada who wants a COVID-19 vaccine will be able to get one by September. Vaccinations are already underway across the country in the over 70 age bracket.
