The 55-65 age group pharmacy vaccinations have now started in the region.
My explanation fails. Today's number is only 2,372 and that's certainly not for the weekend. I have no idea why the numbers are lower than last week.
According to https://covid19tracker.ca/provincevac.html?p=ON Ontario is at 104k today, which is an all-time record (previous high was 90k). So there must be some factor locally, are not enough people registering?
There was some confusion on Reddit, where the fact the region describes it as "pre-registration" means some people thought that meant they weren't actually vaccinating those groups yet. If that misunderstanding is widespread maybe people are waiting before signing up because they think it's just pre-registration, and not an actual booking system.
