The provinces vaccine certificate program, which comes into effect on Sept. 22, offers an exemption for Ontarians who cannot receive the shot for medical reasons
TORONTO - Ontario's health minister says COVID-19 vaccine bookings through the province's portal more than doubled on the day the government announced its vaccine certificate system.
Christine Elliott did not provide the exact number of new bookings, and her spokeswoman did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Elliott says on Twitter that nearly half of the people getting vaccinated today are receiving their first dose.
