Thank you.
Over the past few weeks we've heard from various witnesses and experts about these COVID-19 vaccines and recommendations. We've heard a lot of scientific terms—some of which we are familiar with and some of which we are not—such as the ones that the public health officials use to talk to each other.
Minister, I'm wondering if you or any of your health officials are able to clarify the difference between efficacy and effectiveness and between clinical trial results and real-world results. If we have time, what are the different roles of PHAC and NACI and the role that they play in immunization?
I'm actually seeking the types of definitions that people would understand at the grassroots level.
