Toronto communities hardest-hit by pandemic sound alarm about inequitable distribution of vaccines

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toro...CglfVXT6qmNCVTOzgdY5K4TY96dEG3VOxHd5n2JsOKK_0

What a shame to turn vaccinations into a race issue. In other provinces, there is complete confusion about who is eligible. The government says anyone over 60 is eligible, while pharmacies say anyone over 65. There's such a shortage of vaccines that it is impossible to schedule an appointment except in small towns and cities 2 or more hours away.

What sort of discrimination is happening when people have to leave a large city and drive hours to a small city for a vaccine? Are people in large cities being discriminated against?
