There's a lot of concern about the increased spacing between the first and second doses of Pfizer and Moderna and the possibility that the increased time between the two doses could potentially allow variants some selective advantage. Perhaps increasing the interval works with the wild type, but perhaps not as well with the variants.
How are we going to be tracking that? I understand that in Ontario, for example, there is a database saying who got the vaccines and what vaccine they got. It's tied to their OHIP number. When test results come back, including test results for the variants, they are also tied to the OHIP number. These two could be linked, and we could follow them in real time and look to see whether increasing the interval between the two doses is adequately controlling the spread of the disease, particularly the variants.
Are we looking at that? Are we investing in it?
