I just checked.
- Ontarios system doesn't go live until Monday and I think the odds are 50/50 at best it's borked within 20 minutes of it opening.
- Some health units have apparently opted out in lieu of their own systems already online and taking bookings, some for close to a month already now. It's not clear at this point which health units these are, but here's hoping the Ontario system tells you such when you try to book and forwards you there as some regions have overlapping health units and services, IE locally here our hospitals are doing some doses, pharmacies others, and the overall regional health unit is doing the bulk.
- I just checked our own health unit (Durham Region) which does indeed have it's own system online already and they're *not* taking bookings for anyone outside the current emergency phase (healthcare workers, clinic workers, etc) yet, so if your healthcare unit has already moved on to taking bookings for the more generalized category, it seems some health units aren't even on the same page as others.
I'm sure the next few weeks will be clunky getting things all worked out but the provincial government really dropped the ball getting their own booking system online. It should have been live by the end of last year when we knew the vaccines were imminent, not mid F'n March. This has resulted in this fractured system we now have where some health units, hospitals, pharmacies etc saying "We have vaccines NOW and we need to administer them NOW, so we're doing our own booking system...", and here we are with multiple confusing tiers of booking systems now.
