Premier Doug Ford has addressed problems being reported in the new online Provincial booking system which has resulted in some people getting a “form has been tampered with” message today.
Ford says it’s so far worked for 45,000 people since it launched this morning for those 80 years of age and older.
The Premier says he’ll follow up with IT personnel to see if there are any issues and says those having problems online can call the 1-888 # instead. (1-888-999-6488)
“We’ll iron it out – we’ll iron it out immediately, I promise you that,” he said.
Ford adds that he was praying all night the new system wouldn’t crash today due to an overload of people trying to use it all at once.
The new portal is at covid-19.ontario.ca/book-vaccine/
