Starting at 8 this morning, Ontario is expanding booster dose eligibility to youth aged 12 to 17.

Health officials do recommend a six month interval between second and third doses for youth in that age group.

As COVID related health restrictions ease, the province is hoping to get more shots in arms to control the spread and severity of the virus
