The Province is launching its COVID-19 vaccine booking system today.
However, it is only for those 80 years of age (1941) & older, at least for right now.
A customer service desk will also be available to help answer questions and book appointments for that age group at mass immunization clinics.
The Ontario government says it is preparing to move into Phase Two of its COVID-19 vaccine distribution plan next month, with more age groups being added as supply increases.
Beginning at 8am, individuals who will be turning 80 or older in 2021 (born in 1941 or earlier) and wish to make an appointment — or an individual trusted to make an appointment on their behalf — can visit Ontario.ca/bookvaccine.
On this page, they will be guided to make an appointment through the provincial booking system, or their local public health unit if there is a local public health unit booking system or call centre in place. When booking an appointment, individuals will be asked for information from their green Ontario health card, birth date, postal code and email address and/or phone number. At the time of booking, eligible individuals will schedule their first and second vaccination appointments.
Individuals who still have a red and white health card, or who require assistance with booking, can call the Provincial Vaccine Information Line number at 1-888-999-6488 beginning on Monday, March 15.

The province is also working with primary care professionals to offer vaccinations in primary care settings and community locations, such as physician offices, in Simcoe-Muskoka.
Eligible Ontarians aged 60-64 will be contacted directly to book an appointment.
