  • Unintended consequences of communicating rapid Covid-19 vaccine policy changes– a qualitative study of health policy communication in Ontario, Canada

    Open AccessElizabeth Vernon‐Wilson, Elizabeth Vernon-Wilson et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

    Vaccine policy changes that allow for prioritized access can have the unintended consequence of limiting communities' access to information that supports decision making.
