Many Canadians are still waiting to get the COVID-19 vaccine, but in some parts of the country there are lotteries to get doses that would otherwise go unused.

Dr. Isaac Bogoch says ensuring priority groups getting vaccinated first is key. The spots should be filled with people who are eligible under the current phase of the rollout. However, at the same time, he said no doses should be wasted, even if it means some people get the shot before they are eligible.

Other doctors are worried relying on lotteries to ensure all doses are used means luck won’t necessarily prevail for those most at risk.

Katherine Ward explains.
