Would it be difficult to assemble something = =E2=80=9Cnewsy=E2=80=9D around the pending scale up in vaccinations and = the likely schedule of vaccinations going forward=E2=80=A6especially how = it will affect seniors? I think this would be interesting info for our = readers. As a side point, the government is hiring us to help them at = the vaccination clinics and we expect to be very busy in the coming = weeks and months. Not sure if you know this, but our staff currently = assist the government at the Covid testing clinics. Let me know your thoughts.
