TORONTO Now that over half of Torontonians 18 and older have received their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, a new urgency lingers the second dose. Vaccine recipients across the country are recommended a second dose within four months of their first, in accordance with the National Advisory Committee on Immunization’s recommendations. But the affirmation of a date and location for a second appointment depends on where you received your first dose. The provincial booking system used for city-run immunization clinics prompts users to book both doses at the same time, a Toronto Public Health spokesperson told CTV News Toronto. They said those who received their first vaccine at a hospital immunization clinic or pharmacy and did not receive a second dose appointment, should contact the respective institution.

Published Thursday, April 8, 2021 5:08PM EDT The Ontario government announced recently that people over the age of 18 living in neighborhoods disproportionately affected by COVID-19 would be soon eligible for a vaccine. The government released some details during the provincewide stay-at-home order announcement on Wednesday, but many questions remained on who would be eligible for the expanded rollout and how and when they could book. CTV News Toronto has looked into these questions, and compiled a list of everything you need to know about the changes.
Who is eligible? The Ontario government says the province will start vaccinating education workers the week of April 12, including staff who work with special education students and staff in high-risk neighbourhoods in Toronto and Peel Region.
