Ontarians will have the option to shorten the interval between COVID-19 vaccine doses.
Most people are being scheduled for doses four months apart, but officials say the new interval could be as short as 28 days.
The plan will start with seniors aged 80 and older next week and the province will later offer second shots based on when people received their first.
People will keep their original appointments if they don’t re-book.
