Bispecific antibody exhibits high breadth and potency against SARS-CoV-2 Omicron sub-lineages.Research reveals cetylpyridinium chloride in mouthwash shows anti-SARS-CoV-2 effects.MHRA approves first bivalent COVID-19 booster vaccine.The authors suggest these differences in vaccination rates could be because of delayed access to vaccines in cities as well as Indigenous peoples' mistrust of vaccines and of the urban hospitals leading Ontario's vaccination campaigns. In London, 2-dose completion was 61% for Indigenous populations compared with 82% for the overall population.Īs well, vaccination rates among First Nations, Inuit and Métis in Toronto and London lagged behind overall vaccination rates among First Nations living on and off reserve in Ontario and national rates for First Nations on reserve. The rate for 2-dose vaccination among First Nations, Inuit and Métis in Toronto was 58% compared with 79% for the overall population. They included data on population-representative samples of 723 and 364 people over age 15 in each city respectively.
