Ontario is expanding the age eligibility for the AstraZeneca vaccine.  Beginning Tuesday April 20, pharmacies, and primary care settings will be able to offer the vaccine to individuals over 40 years of age. “By extending vaccination eligibility for the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine at pharmacies and primary care settings to individuals aged 40 and over, Ontario will be able to offer the protection of the vaccine to more Ontarians earlier than expected,” Ontario Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. David Williams said.
