The Ontario government is accelerating the booster shot eligibility to adults 50 years and older.
Starting on December 13th at 8 a.m. booster dose appointment can be made through the COVID-19 vaccination portal or by calling the vaccine contact centre. Indigenous-led vaccination clinics, select pharmacies and primary care settings will also offer the third dose.
Appointments will be booked for approximately six months after a second dose.
Effective immediately, individuals receiving dialysis are eligible to receive a third dose if it has been 56 days since their second dose. The province is also recommending people who are receiving cell treatments following therapy or a transplant get vaccinated again with both shots because of lost immunity.
Beginning in January, Ontario will further expand eligibility for booster shots based on age and risk.
