I think we're going to see a significant impact way earlier than what people think. If we get through our nasty level one group, which is indigenous populations, those who live or reside in long-term care facilities and front-line health care providers, we're going to alleviate so much death from COVID-19.
We know that long-term care facilities account for about 80% of the deaths in the country. By protecting them, we are obviously helping to save lives, but we're also taking a tremendous pressure off our health care system, which has tremendous ripple effects and benefits for everybody else.
There are a lot of benefits that we'll get early on when they're rolled out, so perhaps by February. Interestingly, even after the first dose of those vaccines, we are starting to see evidence that you have some pretty significant protection against getting this infection. It's not as good as two doses, but it's certainly a lot better than nothing, so we might see some early benefits with this.
Really, we want to have an uptake of about 60% to 70% of the Canadian population to really have something close to what we would call herd immunity, where if the virus were introduced, it would not start spreading through the community very easily.
