‘He’s an extremely strategic thinker’: new PHAC president steps into key role in midst of pandemic, must prioritize better data collection efforts on vaccine registry, say top experts

The new president of PHAC should focus on getting rapid testing, contact tracing, clear messaging, and coordination for the flu vaccine, which is a precursor for the COVID vaccination, say top doctors and experts.

President of the Public Health Agency of Canada Iain Stewart, left, and Canada's Chief Public Health Officer Theresa Tam. Mr. Stewart replaced Tina Namiesniowski as president of PHAC in September. She had led the agency since May 2019. Photograph courtesy of the government of Canada, The Hill Times photograph by Andrew Meade
