Halton Region has announced updates to its COVID-19 vaccination schedule for the month of May, which include new anticipated eligibility dates for all age-based groups.

“Halton Region is pleased to offer appointments to more residents, based on expected supply,” said Halton Regional Chair Gary Carr.

“Our ability to expand to more eligible groups remains dependent on ongoing and predictable supplies from both the Provincial and Federal governments. We have capacity in our Vaccination Clinics to vaccinate double what we are doing now if more supply was available.”

The vaccination schedule in Halton aligns with Ontario’s direction to prioritize certain populations based on age and risk.

As of Wednesday, May 5, Halton residents who are 40+ who cannot work from home will be eligible to book appointments and as of May 7, those 30+ who cannot work from home will also be eligible.
