“My intention has been as I have said many times, is to get vaccinated as quickly as my turn comes up,” Trudeau said Tuesday. “With the news that AstraZeneca is now available for 40 and up in Ontario, my office and I have are busy trying to book appointments.”

Until now, the 49-year-old Trudeau has not been eligible for the vaccine because of his age.
