April 11^th

Education Workers in Toronto  can call 1-888-999-6488 to book a vaccine beginning tomorrow, April 12^th.

Toronto Public Health issued a statement on Twitter on Saturday acknowledging that many education workers have questions about when and how to book. “If you are eligible, you will get a letter through your school board with instructions on how to book,” the health agency said.

 “Please note that eligible education workers can book starting Monday, April 12^th and can only book by calling the provincial vaccine information line at 1-888-999-6488.”

This includes education workers who provide direct support to students with special education needs across the province, and all education workers in select hot spot areas, beginning with Toronto and Peel, then rolling out to priority neighborhoods in other hot spot regions including York, Ottawa, Hamilton, Halton and Durham.

This will be followed by a rollout across the province as supply allows. There will be specific instructions and information shared in short order. This incremental step will continue safeguarding staff and students and the Province will roll this out as quickly as supply allows.
