Starting today, Ontario is expanding the age group that is eligible to book a COVID-19 vaccine appointment in Ontario's hot-spot regions.

According to the Ministry of Health, all Ontarians that are 45 years old or older and are living in one of 114 designated hot-spot communities around the province can now book an appointment at a mass immunization clinic.

Most of the hot-spot postal codes are in Toronto, Peel, and York, but a full list can be found on the province's website. Residents of these postal codes can schedule their appointment on the province's online booking tool, or directly through their public health unit.

Plus, workers in licensed child care settings across Ontario are now eligible to book their COVID-19 vaccination appointments.

This comes just days after the province announced that all pregnant people are now permitted to receive their first dose, as they've been moved to the high-risk category.
