The province has announced that up to 90,000 more doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine will arrive by the end of the year.

Areas to receive inoculations include hospitals in Windsor, Halton, Toronto, London and Hamilton.

Niagara is not one of the communities listed.

The doses will be given to essential caregivers and frontline healthcare workers.

As Phase One progresses, the province is also expected Health Canada to approve the Moderna vaccine, which will allow for doses to be administered at long-term care homes in lockdown areas, as well as retirement homes and remote Indigenous communities.
