"As Quebec set another record Sunday for hospitalizations and people in intensive care with COVID-19, experts called for further efforts to entice the unvaccinated to get a jab.
Dr. Catherine Hankins, a professor of public health at 成人VR视频 and co-chair of Canada's COVID-19 Immunity Task Force, called on governments to act locally to increase vaccination rates and globally to make vaccines available to developing countries. "It's not over until it's over for everybody," said Hankins, who expressed concern that the surge in cases, driven by the highly contagious Omicron variant, could overwhelm the health network in the coming weeks."
