“Residents who receive their first dose of vaccine in the coming week will have their second dose by early summer and be able to enjoy beautiful summer days knowing they have protection against COVID-19,” the news release states.

“The City is also urging Torontonians to help and encourage their eligible friends, family and neighbours to book an appointment.”

Experts are increasingly worried that highly transmissible COVID-19 variants are spreading quickly, faster than vaccination efforts which could trigger an escalation in already growing infections and threaten to crash the health care system.

City efforts to encourage people to get vaccinated include programs to combat vaccine hesitancy, a program that will soon have “ambassadors” going door to door in the hardest-hit communities, and a program to provide free transportation to and from clinics to people with no other options.
