Starting at 8 o’clock this morning, child care workers in licensed child care settings will be eligible to book a COVID-19 vaccine appointment.
The province says eligible workers in licensed child care settings will receive a letter from their employer, which must be available at the point of booking and taken to the vaccination appointment.
It says eligibility will be expanded to child care workers in unlicensed child care settings across the province in the coming weeks.
“Ontario’s child care workers are making a difference and supporting working parents at this critical time,” said Stephen Lecce, Minister of Education. “That’s why child care workers provincewide will be eligible to book a vaccine appointment. Our child care centres are safe and the expansion of vaccines will further protect children and staff.”
