Ontario Premier Doug Ford visited on Monday the first mass immunization clinic in Northumberland County which will begin vaccinating residents of 80 years and older on Tuesday.
The arena-turned-into-clinic will have the capacity to administer 800 vaccines per day.
Ford said his government has the infrastructure in place to vaccinate 4.8 million a month, but has only received 1.4 million vaccines from the federal government, and renewed his call for more supply.
He added that more than 150 mass immunization clinics will be open this month across the province.
Ford also responded to several questions regarding the vaccine online booking system, as users reported long wait times and error messages on the first day of the system’s launch.
He backed the development and strength of the system but said he will follow up with the information technology team to fix reported issues.
Ontario reported 1,268 new coronavirus cases on Monday, bringing the provincial total to 319,374.
