Ontario will be expanding third dose COVID-19 vaccine eligibility in mid-December, allowing individuals aged 50 and up to get the booster shot.
Individuals in this age group will be able to book their appointments starting at 8 a.m. on Dec. 13 through the provincial vaccine portal or call centre, at a pharmacy or at their family doctor's office. Ontarians must wait at least six months after they get their second dose to get the booster.
A limited supply of single dose Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine will also be available as of Thursday for people who have had an allergy or cannot get a mRNA vaccine for a medical reason.
