I was hoping that I could have registered through the Ontario portal for my mother, who is over 80. I (pre)registered her a while back with the ROW site, but still haven't heard anything. The site itself was kind of a hot mess.
I am a volunteer at the Public Health run vaccination clinics (Boardwalk and RONA), so I have some inside info. If you selected PHONE CALL as your preferred method of contact, go back in and change to text or email. [If she doesn't use either, use your contact info]. The Region has a huge backlog of making phone contacts, whereas text and email notifications are automatic, and will come thru in a few days. [The website states landline clients will be contacted in 4 to 6 weeks]
After my registration, it took two days to get my access code, and I had an appointment booked at GRH a few days later.
My mom and my in-laws both registered online (70+) last week, and already have appointments.
Our local vaccination numbers should ramp up this week as RONA opened yesterday (soft opening, it will ramp up capacity through the week), and the Boardwalk location is moving across the hall to go from 7 vaccination stations to 10.
