Starting at 8 a.m., individuals aged 50 and over are eligible to schedule a third dose appointment, as long as it has been at least six months since the second dose.
"I strongly recommend that residents book an appointment or drop-in to a pharmacy for a third dose as soon as they become eligible," said medical officer of health Dr. Vera Etches in a statement last week.
"This along with continuing to follow public health measures will help reduce the burden on our health care system in the weeks and months ahead."
Ottawa Public Health says additional appointments will be available to receive a third dose at the community clinics.
