There were 125,166 COVID-19 vaccine doses administered in the last 24-hour period.
As of 8 p.m. Wednesday, 79.9 per cent of Ontario residents 12 and older have received at least one dose while 64 per cent are now fully vaccinated.
The province’s COVID-19 science advisory table released its recommendations Wednesday on whether the province should be issuing a vaccine certificate to those who have been fully vaccinated.
The 21-page brief released Wednesday suggests they could allow for the reopening of high-risk settings sooner and/or at increased capacity.
It says the certificate could be used to regulate entry into high-risk locations including gyms, restaurants, cultural and sports events and could also be used in settings like schools and workplaces that require mandatory vaccination.

Premier Doug Ford has been strongly opposed to the idea of a vaccine passport, saying, “We’re not going to have a split society.”
“I’ve never believed in proof. Everyone gets their proof when they get the vaccination,” said Ford last week.
The Toronto Region Board of Trade has called on the Ontario government this week to introduce a vaccine passport system for non-essential business activity.
