BREAKING: Ontario preparing 4th COVID-19 vaccine dose campaign for all those 60+
Christine Elliott said the province will announce a plan on Wednesday for expanding eligibility for second booster shots.
Fourth doses in Ontario are already available to long-term care and retirement home residents as well as those who are immunocompromised. Ontario ended mask mandates in most public spaces two weeks ago, with the exception of public transit and health-care settings such as hospitals and long-term care homes.
Like Ford, she pointed to the addition of 3,100 new hospital beds, the province's highly vaccinated population and access to antiviral drugs that she said would help the province fight off the latest wave of cases.Earlier Tuesday, Elliott also said the province planned to make it easier to access an antiviral COVID-19 drug.
