But the question is what about the rest of the population?
The head of Ontario's Vaccine Task Force put on the hot seat yesterday as reporters grilled the retired general on the seemingly slow pace of Ontario's vaccine rollout plans.
General Rick Hillier says the online portal for people to register for vaccines will be ready to go after undergoing a final round of testing.
He says the portal to book a vaccine appointment will launch March 15th with people 80 and over the first to be allowed to schedule a vaccine date.
On April 15, people over the age of 75 will be able to book.
On May 1, people over the age of 70 will get access.
June 1, people aged 65 and over can book an appointment and on July 1, booking will be open for people 60 and over.
Hillier was asked when the rest of the population will be able to get their vaccines and he said that will be depend on the supply.
Hillier adding "We don't need to answer it right now. Early summer, I think, is when we'd be starting to discuss that issue."
