Dr. Timothy Dewhirst, a professor in U of G’s Department of Marketing and Consumer Studies, contributed a commentary to the Toronto Star about the many vague explanations about how vaccine mandates apply to those under 12 years old.

Those in public health and corporate leadership positions have been relatively quiet in advising on questions about children who are not old enough to receive approved COVID-19 vaccines, he wrote.

Dewhirst is a senior research fellow in marketing and public policy in the Gordon S. Lang School of Business and Economics. His research expertise includes sports, arts and entertainment marketing.
