All Ontarians Aged 18 & Older Can Now Get A Vaccine & Here’s How To Book Yours

All Ontario adults are now eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine dose several days ahead of schedule, thanks to the early delivery of the vaccine shipment scheduled for the May 24 weekend, the province has announced.

Anyone who is 18 years old or older, as well as those turning 18 in 2021, is invited to book their first dose of a vaccine.

There are three primary methods for booking a vaccine appointment in Ontario — through the province's online system, by phone, or directly through your public health unit's booking system.

If you're using the provincial booking system, you will first have to fill out some personal details such as your postal code and birth year, and will subsequently be put in a queue to book an appointment.

To make your appointment by phone, you can call the province's booking assistance line at 1-833-943-3900. There's a separate hotline for COVID-19 vaccine information in Ontario, but many questions about eligibility are answered on the government's website.

You can also get your vaccine at one of many participating pharmacies in Ontario, either by booking ahead of time or by walking in. You can find your nearest pharmacy on this list, and contact them before you go.
