The province admits it hasn't met the deadline for first doses of COVID-19 inoculations.
Hours after the provincial government stated that every long-term care resident has received at least one dose of the COVID-19 shot, they now say that the announcement was a mistake.
Health Minister Christine Elliott says there was an 'internal miscommunication.'
She went on to say that despite the error, over 34,000 long-term care residents have received both doses of the COVID-19 vaccine.
The government says that despite a national shortage of vaccines, the remainder of the homes will be completed in the coming days.
The province celebrating the milestone in the fight against COVID-19.
The Health Ministry says the first round of COVID-19 vaccines have been administered in every long-term care home across Ontario to eligible residents who wanted one.
Officials note this was achieved despite repeated delays and reductions of vaccine shipments.
To date, more than 62,000 long-term care residents have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, and more than 34,000 residents have received their second dose.
Premier Ford giving props to General Hillier and his team, who are in charge of the vaccine rollout, saying we have made incredible progress, offering our seniors and their families peace of mind during this difficult period.
