Meanwhile, adults in Ontario looking to book a COVID-19 vaccine booster may have to wait more than a week for an appointment as many health regions say bookings were snapped up this morning.
The province has expanded eligibility for booster shots to those ages 18 and older, as long as it has been at least three months since their second shot, due to rising case numbers and the threat of the Omicron variant.
