Toronto is the latest municipality in Ontario to offer the H1N1 vaccine to the general public.
Health officials from Toronto announced the change Tuesday afternoon after York and Peel regions announced it would also be opening up their vaccination clinics to all residents.
"Our 10 clinics are fully staffed, and we are now operating seven days a week. Everyone is welcome," said Dr. David McKeown, Toronto Medical Officer of Health in a news release.
The city estimates about 85,000 people have have been vaccinated at Toronto public health clinics.
Yesterday, health units for Niagara, Hamilton, Kingston, Haldimand-Norfolk, Algoma and the Porcupine Health Unit in Timmins were among those with enough vaccine to offer the flu shot to anyone who wanted it.
"Locally, we have the vaccine and resources available to expand our H1N1 clinics to all who want it, and make it more accessible and convenient for our residents," said Dr. Robin Williams, the Medical Officer of Health for Niagara.
