Vaccination Eligibility
Ontario has a three-phased vaccination plan.
Phase 2 is now underway, dependent on regional supply of vaccine. The province has provided specific direction regarding the order of eligible recipients in the Guidance for Prioritization of Phase 2 Populations for COVID-19. For Huron Perth, further prioritization is done at a regional level between Huron Perth Public Health, Middlesex London Health Unit and Southwestern Public Health. All Phase 1 groups continue to be eligible for vaccination as well.
As we move through the sequence of groups, people in those groups will be contacted. We will also be sharing information publicly on which groups are eligible. Once supply permits, we will move to additional groups.
