The head of Ornge, Ontario’s air ambulance agency, will be leading the province’s vaccine distribution task force. The task force advises the government on the development of its coronavirus immunization strategy, including ways to ethically and efficiently distribute COVID-19 vaccines. As part of Phase 2 of the province’s strategy, the task force will support the vaccination of front-line workers. According to an Ornge spokesperson, Tien will continue to lead the air ambulance agency full-time even as he heads the vaccine task force. Warner said in a statement that the vaccine task force chair position has always been classified as a part-time role.
