TORONTO -- The Ontario government is expected on Tuesday to lower the age threshold to get an AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccination from 55 to 40.
Multiple media outlets have reported a ministry spokesperson has confirmed the decision.
“I can confirm that based on current supply, Ontario will begin offering the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine to individuals aged 40 and over at pharmacy and primary care settings across the province effective Tuesday,” the ministry spokesperson said in a statement, published by CP24.
The decision comes just hours after federal Health Minister Patty Hadju said Canadian provinces have the go-ahead to expand the AstraZeneca roll-out.
