HALDIMAND—The provincial government has opened up fourth dose boosters of COVID-19 vaccine to all Ontarians aged 18 or older.

While Ontarians were largely willing to get their first and second doses of vaccine, rates for third dose booster shots have been far less impressive. 

According to covid19tracker.ca, 85.5% of Ontarians have their first shot, 82.5% have their second, while only 50.1% have gone back for a third, let alone the newly available fourth dose.
