TORONTO The Ontario government is expanding its pharmacy vaccine rollout by bringing Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna into dozens of pharmacies heavily impacted by COVID-19 for people 18 years of age and older. So far, 78 pharmacies in Toronto and Peel Region are offering Pfizer, while Moderna is going to 60 pharmacies in York Region, Durham Regions, Hamilton, Windsor-Essex and Ottawa. Locations can be accessed online. “Specifically targeting the hardest hit areas, hopefully raise the vaccination rates and provide even more reasons for people to get vaccinated,” said Justin Bates with the Ontario Pharmacists Association. Ramon Lawrence, an essential worker, said he struggled booking his shot through the provincial system, but managed to get a walk-in appointment Saturday in Toronto’s Weston neighbourhood at Friendly Care West King Pharmacy.
