TORONTO — Ontarians aged 40 and older can book COVID-19 vaccine appointments across the province today.
The province is opening eligibility to the age cohort through its vaccine booking portal.
People in their 40s could previously take Oxford-AstraZeneca shots at pharmacies and they can now book at other clinics.
The province stopped giving first doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine this week, citing risk of a rare but serious blood clot linked to the shot.
