The Ontario government expects all residents aged 18 and over will become eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine as early as the week of May 24. The provincial government announced an increased supply of vaccines would allow an expansion of eligibility for the vaccines. As of last Friday, anyone aged 55 or over will be allowed to book an appointment through the provincial booking system at covid-19. ontario.ca/book-vaccine/. The age bands were expected to drop weekly until May 24, when everybody aged 18 and over would be eligible to make a booking. As of last Thursday, licensed childcare workers were also eligible to book a vaccine. The number of residents eligible to book vaccines will expand even further on Thurs- day, when from 8:00 a.m., people aged 50 or over (born in 1971 or earlier) will be able to use the province’s booking system. Individu- als with high-risk health conditions or could not work from home during the pandemic in certain industries would also be eligible.
