The Canadian Press has learned that Ontario’s website for booking COVID-19 vaccination appointments will begin a “soft launch” in six public health units this week.
Two of those health unit regions are Hastings-Prince Edward and Kingston, Frontenac and Lennox and Addington.
The idea is to test run the system two weeks before the online portal is set to be up and running across the province.
A senior government official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, says that starting today public health officials will reach out to a small number of residents in those regions who are 80 or older, as well as some eligible health care workers.
