THUNDER BAY — Within hours of the opening of the booking system for COVID-19 vaccinations for people 75 years old and over, all the appointments in the first round were filled.
The Thunder Bay District Health Unit made the announcement at 10:18 Monday morning.
The provincial government had announced on Friday that appointments for 75+ would be accepted starting on Monday following an Ontario-wide decline in demand for vaccinations for the number of people 80 years old and over.
In a message posted on social media, the TBDHU says it will advise when more spots for the 75+ group will become available.
"Thanks for your patience as we continue to serve as many folks as possible with the current supply and capacity available," the message adds.
The TBDHU vaccination clinics take place in the CLE Coliseum building.
