Ontario's chief medical officer of health Dr. Kieran Moore announced on Wednesday the expansion of eligibility for COVID-19 booster shots to new groups, which include those aged 70+, health-care workers and designated essential caregivers in congregate settings.

This also applies to individuals who received the AstraZeneca or Johnson and Johnson vaccine.

These groups must have had their last shot at least six to eight months prior.

Eligible groups can start booking a booster dose on Saturday, Nov. 6. at 8 a.m.

Canada's National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) has not yet recommended booster shots to the general population but provincial officials said Ontario is looking at a broad timeline of after January 2022 (around six months after a second dose) if those shots do become recommended based on vaccine effectiveness and data.
