Retired Gen. Rick Hillier, chair of the COVID-19 vaccine distribution task force, announced on Wednesday that the province is set to launch an online booking system to reserve appointments for COVID-19 vaccine shots, beginning March 15.

The system will allow people to get shots close to where they live, based on their postal codes, and will prioritize people according to their age groups, starting with people 80-year-old or over.

Hillier said the task force aims to then vaccinate adults aged 75 and older starting April 15, and shots will go to those 70 and older beginning May 1.

He added people aged 65 and older will be vaccinated starting June 1.

As of Wednesday, just over 600,000 people got vaccine doses in Ontario, with more than 250,000 people got both shots of the vaccine and are now immunized against the virus.

Ontario reported 1,054 new coronavirus cases on Wednesday, bringing the provincial total to 296,173.
