The vaccine is now available to anyone over the age of 18 who thinks they may have been exposed or has had more than one or an anonymous sexual partner.
By 4 p.m. Thursday, 30,000 new appointments will be made available online.
The department is also allowing more doctors to administer the vaccine, including dentists and optometrists.
