The Ford government’s announced it’ll be distributing more doses of the Pfizer vaccine to 17 additional hospitals over the next two weeks; most in COVID-19 hot spots.

This is initial phase of the province’s three-phase plan that began earlier this week a Toronto’s University Health Network and The Ottawa Hospital.

Ontario’s expecting to receive up to 90,000 doses before the end of the month to continue vaccinating health care workers and essential caregivers in hospitals, long-term care and other congregate settings caring for seniors.

The following hospitals will be receiving the vaccine:

Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre

Scarborough Health Network

Toronto East Health Network

Unity Health Toronto

Humber River Hospital

Mackenzie Health

Southlake Regional Health Centre

Trillium Health Partners

William Osler Health System

Halton Healthcare

Hamilton Health Sciences

Lakeridge Health

Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre

Grand River Hospital

London Health Sciences Centre

Windsor Regional Hospital

Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre

Early next year, more hospitals will be administering the Pfizer vaccine to health care workers, as well as essential caregivers, and long-term care and retirement home residents.
