Mayor John Tory has announced 90% of eligible residents 12 and older have received a first vaccination dose.
More than 87% have also received two doses.
In yet another milestone, the city has also crossed the 50% threshold for kids aged 5-11. They are the latest group to become eligible for a vaccine.
The latest news is a few days ahead of another mass vaccination clinic at the Aviva Centre. The event is being dubbed “Vax the Northwest.”
That event takes place Sunday January 23.
