Ontario *announced* vaccinations for 18+ in high risk areas.

But it’s leaving everything else - booking systems, organizing/ operating mobile units - to public health units.

PHUs appear blindsided. One PHU yesterday told Radio-Canada they have no information from the government https://twitter.com/bogochisaac/status/1380505163803340802
Toronto doesn’t even have its own booking system, but Ontario says public health units cannot use the provincial booking system for the 18+ vaccinations.

Premier Doug Ford *announced* vaccinations the 18+ in hotspots - but is leaving the entire execution to public health units: https://twitter.com/l_stone/status/1380514022760517636
I sent Peel Public Health a list of questions, including:
- did they know about the 18+ vaccinations plan before Ford announced it
- when will 18+ bookings/vaccinations begin, and how can people book
- do they need extra resources for the 18+ rollout

They responded with this:
Halton Region will let people 18+ who are essential workers or have high-risk medical conditions book their vaccination next Friday (April 16).

It's unclear when Toronto and Peel will launch their 18+ bookings (or how people will book) https://www.halton.ca/The-Region/News/2021/More-priority-populations-eligible-to-book-vaccina
