More Ontarians are now eligible for an accelerated second dose of COVID-19 vaccine.
Starting today, those who received a first jab of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine can book their second shot after eight weeks, instead of having to wait 12 weeks.
The Ontario government had previously set a minimum wait time of 12 weeks for people who took a first dose of AstraZeneca.
They can choose whether to get a second dose of AstraZeneca, or switch to an mRNA vaccine made by Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna.
