Ontario to reveal details of plan to roll out booster doses of COVID-19 vaccine

Ontario’s top doctor will provide details about the province’s plan to roll out booster doses of COVID-19 vaccine on Wednesday.

Dr. Kieran Moore, chief medical officer of health, is set to make the announcement at Queen’s Park.

On Friday, the Ontario government said the plan would "provide information to all Ontarians" about when they can expect to receive a third shot.

Wednesday’s announcement comes after the National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) expanded eligibility for booster shots last week.

The committee suggested that provinces could offer mRNA boosters, like Pfizer or Moderna, to anyone who received two doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine.
