COVID-19 Vaccine Prioritization

Provincial COVID-19 Vaccine Prioritization

The Ministry of Health, through the guidance of the provincial COVID-19 Vaccine Task Force, directs allocation of the COVID-19 vaccine across Ontario. Prioritization guidance is updated regularly by the Ministry of Health. Vaccine supply differs by region.

Regional COVID-19 Vaccine Prioritization

Given very limited vaccine supply, a Regional COVID-19 Vaccine Prioritization Advisory Committee has been formed to help inform the public health units decisions regarding further prioritization when necessary. Vaccination eligibility will be reviewed weekly, based on the regional vaccine supply and Provincial direction.
