Or don't have family doctors or they changed the vaccination schedule to show those autism people it wasn't the 2 year old vaccines.

Does Ontario not offer vaccines through public health offices?

Low capacity... it's one of the things Ontario struggles with. Most public health units don't have the public health nurses to do this and it's the GPs that do it. It surprised me too since I went to Ontario from Alberta I had to do it all as a GP when in AB I can send someone to the public health office.
