The change in eligibility comes a week ahead of the province’s initial rollout schedule.

In a release officials say “With 2.2 million doses scheduled to arrive this week, the government is extending booking eligibility at mass immunization clinics to individuals aged 18 and over.
The announcement also means 17 year old turning 18 this year can also book an appointment but only for the Pfizer vaccine.
