The news comes as the province will ramp down the number of shipments it sends across the province to hot spots as was recommended by its science table. A large portion of those hot spots are located in the GTA with one being in Waterloo Region.

COVID-19 vaccines are once again to be distributed on a more equal basis.

This move comes as shipments of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine to the province (and Canada) have ramped up this month

In addition, Hilton said the region received a larger than anticipated shipment of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine.

On Wednesday, Ontario trumpeted the fact that 50 per cent of Ontarians over the age of 18 have now received one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.

On Friday, the number in Waterloo Region stood at 46.22 per cent.
