Doug Ford gets booster dose at Etobicoke pharmacy.

Ontario's Premier is now one of the over 2 million Ontarians who have received a third COVID-19 shot.

Doug Ford received his booster today at an Etobicoke pharmacy.

"So, I just ended up getting my booster shot and I just encourage everyone, please get out there," Ford said. "If you haven’t taken any shots, get your first, get your second, or get your booster."

After the province's booking portal opened up booster shot appointments to all adults 18 and over yesterday, several regions including Niagara have run out of available appointments.

However, booster doses are being provided at several pharmacies and doctors office, or you can check the booking portal to see if new dates open up.
