Phase One of Ontario's vaccine rollout will begin on Tuesday, December 15 in Toronto and Ottawa, which will include vaccine doses for over 2,500 health care workers.

The first people in line are those workers providing care in hospitals and long-term care homes. They will be the only eligible group in Phase One.

Phase Two will include "more health care workers, as well as to residents in long-term care homes and retirement homes, to home care patients with chronic conditions and to additional First Nation communities and urban Indigenous populations, including Métis and Inuit adults."

It won't be until phase three that the general public is able to get their vaccines. 

Canada received 30,000 doses in its initial shipment on Sunday, which are being sent to 14 distribution sites across the country.
