Toronto 
Ontario will be opening mass vaccination clinic vaccine bookings to residents in hot spot areas as the province is anticipating a stable and reliable increase in vaccine supply beginning May 3, 8.a.m.
As per the plan, starting May 3rd at 8:00 a.m., the province will allow those 18 and older who live in one of the 114 hot spot communities to book appointments for shots at a mass immunization clinic through the provincial online booking system or directly through public health units that use their own booking system. The province says Public Health Units will continue to target 18+ in hotspots through alternate channels like hospital clinics and pop-up clinics.
Beginning Thursday, May 6, 2021, at 8:00 a.m. the following groups throughout the province will be eligible to book a COVID-19 vaccine appointment, through the provincial online booking system and call centre or directly through public health units that use their own booking system:
- Individuals turning 50 and over in 2021;
- Individuals with high-risk health conditions;
- People who cannot work from home who fall under Group One (including remaining elementary and secondary school workers); and
- First Nations, Inuit and Métis individuals in addition to the other channels previously available to book their appointment.
FYI: If you did not apply for the $400 Ontario Child Care Benefit payments, you can now do so. Applications are open from May 3rd to 17th.
