Every dose administered means we are one step closer to the end of the pandemic, and I encourage all Ontarians to get vaccinated and continue following public health advice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the interval between first and second doses can be up to 16 weeks, Ontario will begin to offer second dose appointments at an earlier interval, based on availability of vaccines. The timing of second dose appointments may vary by region depending on factors including vaccine supply and the date of first dose appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second dose booking for individuals turning 80 and over in 2021 is expected to begin on May 31, 2021 at 8:00 a.m., followed by individuals aged 70 and over scheduled to begin the week of June 14, 2021. The province will then continue to expand eligibility for second dose appointments based on date of first dose. Ontario will further accelerate the rollout of second doses in the event that the federal government confirms increased vaccine deliveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ontarians who have had their first dose and are eligible for an accelerated second dose may be able to return to the same site or channel where they received their first dose for their second dose appointment, or may choose to book an appointment at a different site or channel. Second dose appointments can be rebooked through the <a><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">provincial booking system<\/span><\/a> and through pharmacies. For those in public health units who use their own booking system, or who received their doses from the primary care provider or through a pop-up clinic, more information will follow on how and when second dose booking and rebooking will be available. Second dose appointments can also be booked (without a first appointment) in the provincial booking system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ontario has already begun offering second doses of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine at an accelerated pace with a 10-week interval for individuals who received their first dose between March 10 to March 19, 2021. Acceleration of AstraZeneca second doses will be provided at a 12-week interval, dependent on vaccine supply, with booking eligibility based on the date of the first dose. Eligible individuals are encouraged to contact the pharmacy or primary care provider where they received their first dose to book an appointment. They might be redirected to a local pharmacy that is participating in administering second doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine. Primary care settings and pharmacies may also be reaching out to eligible Ontarians. The province will provide further guidance based on advice expected shortly from the National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) with respect to administering doses of two different vaccine types. This advice will be provided in advance of the 12-week interval when most people are needing to receive their second dose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The government also continues to roll out first doses to Ontarians. Recently the province expanded eligibility to <a href=\"https:\/\/u21120259.ct.sendgrid.net\/ls\/click?upn=n4sOEUdnhhc0w4SJYwLHyV-2BP1rtRxUqv2pFG0HPvgfY4RouJx75dL2c319FgU2BHJA-2B9lnF4s4sHh3Bfq4KRWxmva-2BaM7TC5ahJpduL-2FX9XWEvyPT8kdKwygaGVaCpTn2p3YJwy6MzALzNxGfJkPH-2BCU-2BDCXFfrxGvrJIryccXksFoXnxiR4UIkljvGtyJm9zrJUrdUCK-2FL7nbyTHFdPGojN-2FsIxro4KXj45fj-2FH5WrP59UWo0e-2BaNpgDXmaLR7qyXM5EtQkm1KsWIX6XqTg1267KFWo79lC0xtZ85Kmic4PzOfSv7nxXd-2FnwMMJoTi1MG16s2XpC8dzbBmdCq17Pt8sgOec7d4glQ85KGjjHGVzErMw2suT-2BbtU1aujZW64_xtc_BQNl75FsC6xSN2eH9e0SruTtnhdgVz-2FgAWbKiXrwTtP0W8gAIrvpXCB1-2Fc4guyNce7dBsP7NV-2B3z0YAz44K28gO7xHQe8bsqcMrYTr7kGjhvQzgpB-2Bh53fLV9hM5F6sbM5b68DE7Sn1kMaG49kzabS6nQsBh2P3tu0BKVM6KKMyvvAM1rD4hPUdq-2F8WjEcJfUtZJWFvuGFVg4CE-2BZcfwCCCVWoLb2-2FRHWPMojjw5Z-2BNu6fhBeByoymCLkllCb-2BHU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">youth aged 12 and over<\/span><\/a> to schedule a COVID-19 vaccine appointment through the <a href=\"https:\/\/u21120259.ct.sendgrid.net\/ls\/click?upn=n4sOEUdnhhc0w4SJYwLHyaDJfrdvC8qsZ1TRK-2Bqxx5t5FOTfa6uoTq6Qq-2FahoEcGo74tv3jqlkC896ladIR5fMK-2Fock3li2C2tH3TKA6tRjRaY7mn0dbcxtVSsV5fnQGmMeQ2uRnCObivDzUffRt7DqpEvK3k3vDuJMNbTAoxfaeSBLZ1MZIkn1-2Bqc86Nju1nwwtPnbtjcK5eeGpOJeU49NqfHumRANg-2BA8wvHN3do-2BB2kEr81Ru-2BNrz0hWCB8o2YLXpC9yP7EggG25tJg6aU-2Fcjjk5LQEZ-2Fw-2FBShoIuaEk-3DSQWu_BQNl75FsC6xSN2eH9e0SruTtnhdgVz-2FgAWbKiXrwTtP0W8gAIrvpXCB1-2Fc4guyNce7dBsP7NV-2B3z0YAz44K28rGUb-2F3rw7uB8c2iZElPz8xAKdEIbFQRrGSpfz-2FfqkjvwopyIqDd0cSweIgRlUyRZ-2BvnRBKppu1nSGD-2FOPLiv3RJBKZJaV8eilPd8R2CbZt5aECbqf2curywNPu7sP0z-2FvPGmJgW5ilRJxbIhC2g-2F2OOkyAAqCfAwR2fJv7D9gl0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">provincial booking system<\/span><\/a> and call centre, and public health units that use their own booking systems, as well as at <a href=\"https:\/\/u21120259.ct.sendgrid.net\/ls\/click?upn=n4sOEUdnhhc0w4SJYwLHyaDJfrdvC8qsZ1TRK-2Bqxx5v6pke1KUNkyLTSunha1kWgNiQ41moAJPre6pLMkI8r2tpNzE0bKwaHAkaMagatSQWbW8QP8IofRYbXhEzT6asTS88eD-2BvorKrHS49N9OgN5AB1At5M9-2Fwr5-2B-2BzNYtvdDtcoYYpGTmT9Wk9ip1TfIRLFejzj6ZpdNjF0lkrCbd4SQ1mQSNA5GB9FnFL70enztlUVxXq65a1xyiMLp0ZfcAvRFXH3sCQnFjbU06m2jo0s8Xpe2CiW0DjfMBwYWcm-2F8c-3DEDsB_BQNl75FsC6xSN2eH9e0SruTtnhdgVz-2FgAWbKiXrwTtP0W8gAIrvpXCB1-2Fc4guyNce7dBsP7NV-2B3z0YAz44K28rkZiKzQk89wVMaBjBwC0bkIxvhR-2FSbvPybfvCzKiQwBik-2FW6qJSn-2FhBgjQX9HNq3HnTMQgwrCtuUBeQAfm2eiIrxKWjj75WW8-2F28rOnUPYdKAhscoU-2Fj2JMp8yblcZWVjBA0MpOt3sRAuXI7cqATvb-2F0Tdl6EeUuBV0UiR04K22\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">select pharmacies<\/span><\/a> administering the Pfizer vaccine.
