Ontario expands eligibility for COVID-19 booster shots, cuts capacity limits in some indoor spaces
CTV
Ontario is expanding eligibility for COVID-19 booster shots to anyone 18 and older starting Monday and is limiting capacity in some indoor spaces as cases of the Omicron variant surge in the province.
The government also announced Wednesday it's shortening the required interval between a person's second dose and booster shot from six months down to three months.
The government said pharmacies may also provide boosters starting Dec. 17 for walk-ins.
COVID-19 rapid tests will also be to residents free of charge at pop-up testing sites located at high-traffic public areas, as well as at LCBO retail locations, effective immediately.
The province's Chief Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Kieran Moore, previously said boosters would be available to anyone over the age of 18 starting on Jan. 4.
