City of Toronto opens 5,000 new vaccination appointments as eligibility opens to those age 40 and older

Starting  at 8 a.m., everyone ages 40 to 49 will be eligible to book a vaccination appointment at a City of Toronto immunization clinic. The new cohort joins those with at-risk health conditions and people who cannot work from home that are in Group Two of Ontario’s COVID-19 vaccination plan, who became eligible to book appointments yesterday.

In addition, 5,000 new appointments between May 17 and 23 at City-operated immunization clinics will be added in the provincial booking system to meet some of the demand from this expanded eligibility and based on available vaccine supply.

More than 20,000 appointments also remain open for the week of June 7
