The spokesperson for Provincial Health Minister Christine Elliot has said that the eligibility age for the AstraZeneca-Oxford Covid-19 will lower to 40 years of age and over starting Tuesday.
The shots will be offered at pharmacies and primary care settings.
The statement continues to say that Ontario made the call based on current supply of the vaccine.
Before the announcement it was only available to Ontario residents aged 55 and older following recommendations from the National Advisory Council on Immunization early this spring.
This changed today as the federal government announced the Province was able to expand the eligibility of for the AstraZeneca vaccine to any adult over the age of 18.
