The City of Toronto announced on Friday it’s partnering with FCJ Refugee Centre and Access Alliance to help people without an Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) card get the COVID-19 vaccine in Toronto.
The announcement comes after those without OHIP cards have reported hitting massive roadblocks and confusion when trying to book an appointment, even if they fall into the eligible categories to get vaccinated.
But Ontario has clearly stated that if you do not have an OHIP card at all, you are still eligible for the vaccine.
