This Victoria Day long weekend, Team Toronto is working to help residents stay up to date with their COVID-19 vaccinations by hosting 34 immunization clinics across the city. The clinics are part of Team Toronto’s ongoing hyper-local approach to bringing COVID-19 vaccination opportunities to the places residents live, work and play.
This long weekend’s vaccine clinics will operate by appointment or on a walk-in basis to provide first, second, third, fourth and paediatric doses of COVID-19 vaccine to eligible residents. OHIP is not required. The clinic locations and hours of operation are as follows:
Toronto Public Health continues to encourage residents to stay up-to-date with their COVID-19 immunization, including all booster (third and fourth) doses for the best protection against serious illness linked to COVID-19 and its variants. Recent data shows residents who kept up-to-date with their vaccinations were better protected against serious consequences linked to the virus, when compared to those who were unvaccinated or under vaccinated.
First, second, third and fourth doses are also available by appointment or walk-in across the five City-run immunization clinics. Residents can also get their doses at more than 525 local pharmacies that are offering the COVID-19 vaccine, Indigenous-led vaccination clinics, select primary care offices and other Team Toronto health care partner clinics.
More information is available on the City’s COVID-19: How to Get Vaccinated webpage.
