Ontario said on Wednesday it had administered a record high of 202,984 vaccine doses since its last daily report.
More than 11.7 million doses of vaccine have been given out in the province so far.
Eligibility was first accelerated for a second dose on Monday in the seven hot spots where the Delta variant is spreading. People in those regions who got their first dose on May 9 or earlier could book a second shot starting Monday.
All adults in the province who got their first dose on or after May 10 can book an earlier second shot starting the week of June 28.
