LONDON, ONT. -- Starting this week, the province is allowing 45 more pharmacies across Middlesex-London to administer COVID-19 vaccine for adults 55 and over as it expands its pharmacy program to 700 more locations across Ontario.

The Middlesex-London Health Unit says those eligible should contact the pharmacies directly to find out how to book an appointment.
"With more local pharmacies coming on board, receiving the COVID-19 vaccine will be easier and more convenient for eligible populations across the province," said Christine Elliott, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health in a news release.
"I strongly encourage everyone to get vaccinated when it's their turn. Until we receive enough vaccines so that the majority of Ontarians can be vaccinated it remains critical for everyone to continue following public health measures we know work and keep us safe."
The province now has more than 1,400 pharmacy locations offering the vaccine, and that number is expected to reach approximately 1,500 by the end of April, officials said.
