This week, multiple pharmacies across Toronto began administering AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccines as part of Ontario's new pilot program aimed at vaccinating residents between the ages of 60 and 64.  

Specifically, Rexall and Costco have both joined the effort — with 39 Rexall locations and 35 Costco locations participating.
