Ontario's CMOH says he'll make a decision early next week

Ontario is set to make a decision early next week on whether to expand eligibility of fourth doses of COVID-19 vaccines, amid a seventh wave of the virus.

Ontario's Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Kieran Moore says he anticipates news on 4th doses will come next week, but added he's concerned about the number of people who have not had a third dose yet.

The province has been under pressure to expand eligibility for fourth doses of a COVID-19 vaccine beyond people aged 60 and older, immunocompromised people and Indigenous populations.
