Those aged 75 and older will soon be able to book their COVID-19 vaccine appointments.
Starting on Monday, the province will expand the appointments available through its online booking system.
Officials say they’re rolling out the vaccine to this group ahead of schedule since more than half of all Ontarians age 80 and above have received at least one dose.
“Thanks to the efforts of an army of frontline health care heroes and volunteers, we are getting needles in arms even faster than we had imagined,” says Premier Doug Ford. “All we need now is a steady and reliable supply of vaccines from the Federal government to ensure anyone who wants one gets one as soon as possible so we can all stay safe.”
Since the launching of the provincial booking system on Monday, more than 239,000 appointments have been scheduled.
You can also call 1-833-943-3900 to book an appointment.
Health care providers, Indigenous adults and adult home care recipients are also eligible to receive the vaccine at this time.
