Vaccination rates of inmates progressing, but still no sign at Ontario federal prison that in-person visits will be allowed soon. "There's a 20-point gap with respect to the rate of vaccination in Black Canadians compared to the Canadian average," Sekyi-Otu said in an interview. "When you look at vaccine confidence, unvaccinated Black Canadians are least likely to say that they'll definitely get the vaccine." "These include investing in strategies that work with Black-led and Black-focused community organizations to address COVID-19 vaccine knowledge gaps and related trust barriers," Nur said in a statement. To date, 85 per cent of prisoners at Grand Valley have had at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine and 74 per cent are fully vaccinated, according to CSC.
