Update
- Ontario Identifies Key Groups for Distribution of Initial COVID-19 Vaccines . The Ontario government is ready to distribute COVID-19 vaccines as soon as they are received, beginning with vaccinating vulnerable populations and those who care for them. As recommended by the COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution Task Force and in alignment with the National Advisory Committee on Immunization, the province has identified key populations to receive the vaccine first, including long-term care and retirement home residents and the staff who provide care to these groups. The government’s approach is informed by science and prioritizes population groups that are at greatest risks of COVID-19.
- Directive # 3 for Long-Term Care Homes has been updated and will come into effect on December 9, 2020. The directive is available on the Ministry’s website .
