The city will be releasing thousands of new COVID-19 vaccine appointments this morning as officials report that more than 25 per cent of eligible Toronto residents have already received their booster shot.
In a news release issued on Thursday morning, city officials confirmed that staff will be working through New Year's weekend to provide more than 14,000 new vaccination appointments.
The appointments, which will be added to the provincial booking system at 8 a.m., were made available after the city opted to include additional days of operation and hours at its city-run clinics from Jan. 1 to Jan. 3.
The city also confirmed Thursday that more than 25 per cent of Toronto residents who are 18 and older have received their COVID-19 booster dose.
“Team Toronto and all of its partners are working hard heading into the holiday weekend to get eligible residents vaccinated with their first, second and third doses of COVID-19 vaccine,” the news release read.
