Ontario adds 3 regions as COVID-19 Delta hot spots, accelerates 2nd dose vaccine bookings | FULL

The Ontario government has moved up second doses for those who got a COVID-19 vaccine shot in May while three more local public health units were added as hot spot areas where the Delta variant is of concern.

Ontario's Deputy Premier and Health Minister Christine Elliott made the announcement Thursday alongside the province's Solicitor General Sylvia Jones.

Ontarians who got a first dose from May 10 to May 30, and are in a Delta hot spot, can book an earlier second shot starting Wednesday, June 23.

Three more local public health units — Hamilton, Simcoe, Muskoka and Durham Region — were added as Delta hot spots, joining Toronto, Halton, Peel, Porcupine, Waterloo, Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph and York.

Last week, Ontario announced that those in Delta hot spots were eligible to get an earlier second vaccine dose if they received a first shot on or before May 9. Starting on Monday, June 21 all Ontarians, regardless of being in a hot spot and who got a vaccination on or before May 9, can book for a second dose appointment.

The province reported 370 new COVID-19 cases on Thursday.
