A possible return to partial mask mandates? So says Ontario's Chief Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Kieran Moore. -  A much lower public interest in Covid booster vaccines so far heading into the flu season than what would be best. Only 16% of those 70 and over have accepted a fourth dose which Moore says is "unacceptable."

Guest: Dr. Neil Rau. Infectious diseases specialist and assistant Professor of Medicine, University of Toronto.
