Toronto 
Ontario announced today that all Ontarians aged 18 and over can book appointments for COVID-19 vaccine booster dose beginning January 4, 2022.
As previously announced, individuals aged 50 and over will be eligible to schedule their booster dose appointment on Monday, December 13, 2021 at 8:00 a.m. The province says this will expand booster eligibility to approximately 5.5 million people.
Ontario also announced new measures including mandatory use of vaccine certificates with QR code effective January 4th.
“Ontario, like other jurisdictions around the world, is seeing concerning trends in public health and health care indicators, and additional measures are required to protect our progress for the long-term,” said Dr. Kieran Moore, Chief Medical Officer of Health. “All Ontarians are strongly urged to follow these and existing measures and get vaccinated with a first, second or booster dose if you have not done so already. These are the layers that are protecting everyone. By taking these actions, we can help to reduce the mobility of COVID-19 and its variants, protect public health and health system capacity and save lives. This is especially important as we enter the holiday season and spend more time with family and friends. We need to keep each other safe.”
The province says COVID-19 vaccine remains the single best protection against COVID-19 and variants and is strongly recommending every eligible Ontarian to get vaccinated or receive their booster if they are eligible as soon as possible.
