OTTAWA --
Ottawa's COVID-19 vaccination campaign takes a major step forward this week, with the city beginning to vaccinate residents 80 and older in high-risk neighbourhoods.
A new COVID-19 vaccine eligibility tool has been launched on Ottawa Public Health's website, to determine if you are able to book an appointment this week. The tool asks whether you identify as Indigenous, whether you have a chronic medical condition and receive home care services through Local Health Integration Network (LHIN), and what year you were born. It then asks for your postal code.
"This is a big week for us in Ottawa," said Mayor Jim Watson during an interview on CTV News at Six on Sunday.
