This would have been good to do. I remember they mailed out flyers about the vaccine, stating things like it doesn't change your DNA...as if that even needed to be said. Sadly, they never mailed anything out regarding how you can get one.
I was sure I got that flyer in my utility bill, but perhaps I didn't. That said, it did have information on the *backside* on how to get your shot. I never noticed it until I tossed the flyer tho. At the same time, that information on the back was useless for the majority of people because we didn't "qualify". It may have been a better idea to send out flyers every 3 weeks or so as things change. If we say that cost per flyer is 10¢ per sheet (including delivery -- might be free if the Feds pay for it (through CPC)). So 10¢ x 5x (minimum number of times that flyers are sent to households) x 220,000 (roughly the number of households), the cost is $110,000. Seems like a small price to pay to get us back to normal, and perhaps rather than being 4x the provincial average, we'll be 1/2 -- though it would still mean vaccinating WRPS staff, workers in LTC's and homeless people.
