Ontarians aged 60 and older could start booking appointments for a fourth dose of a COVID-19 vaccine as of Thursday.
First Nations, Inuit and Metis individuals and their non-Indigenous household members aged 18 and above are also eligible.
Fourth doses are being offered at a recommended interval of five months after the initial booster shot.
