TORONTO – Ontario said its COVID-19 hot spots will have enough vaccines to meet demand when all adults become eligible for shots this week, but critics said the province wasn’t doing enough for areas hit hardest by the pandemic.
The government announced Monday that everyone aged 18 and older would qualify for a shot Tuesday thanks to an early shipment of vaccines. At the same time, Ontario reverted to distributing doses on a per capita basis after sending half its supply to hot spots for two weeks.
Health Minister Christine Elliott said the early vaccine shipment meant hot spots would get the shots they require and local health officials would be able to direct doses to where they were most needed.
