Hamilton residents 60 and older can now get a COVID-19 vaccine.
Effective immediately, people in the new age category can start booking appointments at a large-scale clinic through the provincial booking system by going online or by calling the hotline at 905-974-9848 option 7.
The city is considering the feasibility of mobile clinic operations and will provide more information at a later date.
To date, Hamilton officials say 111,578 vaccine doses have been administered adding up to upwards of 17 percent of eligible residents receiving a dose.
The age limit for mass vaccination clinics has not changed in Niagara: residents 70 or older are eligibile for the vaccine.
However the province recently extended a vaccine pilot project at pharmacies to include some locations in Niagara and Hamilton.
Under the pilot project poeple 55 and older can get a vaccine at a participating pharmacy, but supplies are limited.
