Once registered, people will receive a notification to book their shot once eligible.
Registrants will only be asked to provide their first and last name, date of birth, postal code, personal health number and an email or phone number.
Vaccine appointments can take between 30 and 60 minutes. Individuals are asked to wear a short-sleeved shirt and must wear a mask.
After the shot, patients will wait for 15 minutes to make sure there are no adverse effects.
