From today onwards, parents living in Ontario will be able to book booster shots of Covid-19 for their children from today.
This announcement was made by Chief Medical Officer of Health yesterday.
He said that these an appointment can be booked on the province’s vaccine portal from 8:00 a.m. Appointments can also be booked through local public health units and through some pharmacies and health care providers.
