During the week of May 3, individuals aged 50+ and some specific groups who can not work from home will become eligible. For residents of identified hot spots, such as the N5H postal code, individuals 18+ will also become eligible.

Individuals who are 60 and older who are having difficulty with the booking system are welcome to add their name to the region’s “Help List.” Southwestern Public Health staff assist those on the list with appointment booking.
