The COVID-19 vaccine is free for everyone in Ontario.
If you have received another vaccine (not a COVID-19 vaccine) recently, make sure that your COVID-19 vaccine appointment is at least 14 days after you received the other vaccine. If you have a fever or COVID-19 symptoms, please reschedule your appointment for a later date, when you are feeling better.
Learn more about vaccine use by age. Consult with your health care provider before getting vaccinated, if you:
Your health care provider will review the benefits and risks for your unique situation.
Residents without OHIP cards who meet the current vaccine eligibility criteria can request assistance to book their vaccination appointment at a City-operated immunization clinic by contacting the following organizations:
Residents requesting assistance to book their appointment will be invited to leave their contact information and a representative will return their call. As we work to serve residents as quickly as possible, we ask that you do not leave your contact information with more than one booking partner.
Residents without an OHIP card may use other forms of identification to book their COVID-19 vaccination appointment through agency partners. Government-issued photo ID (including non-Canadian and expired documents) such as a driver’s licence, passport, piece of registered mail, pay stub or student card may be used.
Residents without an OHIP card can also book their COVID-19 vaccination appointment through hospitals and Ontario Health Team-led clinics by visiting www.vaccineto.ca.

Please note that Toronto Public Health is not providing invitation codes for people to register for vaccines or accepting requests for onsite workplace clinics. Toronto Public Health staff are not able to provide information about scheduled appointments over the phone.
Adults 18 years of age or older who live in the City of Toronto and cannot physically leave their home to receive the vaccine for medical, physical, cognitive or psychosocial reasons are eligible for in-home vaccination. An essential caregiver who lives in the home may also be vaccinated if they are eligible at the time of booking for other reasons (based on age or caring for someone with certain medical conditions as per Provincial eligibility).
If you are physically able to leave your home, check information about vaccine eligibility to find out where you can book an appointment. Transportation support is available if you need help getting to your appointment.
Please register through the health service that you are currently linked with:
If you receive care through primary care or homecare and HCCSS, please contact your primary or homecare provider first. If your primary care or homecare service provider cannot provide the vaccine, you will be referred to Toronto Paramedic Services.
Dependent on consistent vaccine supply, homebound residents that are currently on the list can expect to be contacted and scheduled for vaccination before the end of June.
The City of Toronto, Toronto Public Health and healthcare partners are working to expand mobile vaccination efforts across the City to bring vaccine to neighbourhoods in greatest need.
Mobile vaccine clinics are part of a larger Team Toronto vaccination strategy that aims to meet eligible populations where they are. This helps remove barriers to the COVID-19 vaccine and increase vaccine uptake among local residents.
Mobile vaccination clinics are usually planned for specified local communities. This means that mobile clinics only provide vaccines to those living in the local neighbourhoods they are situated and are not open to all who live in priority neighbourhoods across the GTA or other populations eligible for vaccinations. Mobile and pop-up clinics are brought to the attention of eligible local residents directly through community partners such as family doctors, employers, building managers, faith leaders and other local leaders who are directly connected to the people the mobile clinics will serve.
Postal code areas prioritized in the Sprint Strategy are:
Residents in the identified hot spots must show proof of age and address when arriving at the clinic. Acceptable forms of identification include:
Hot spot areas are neighbourhoods identified by the Province of Ontario with ongoing and historic high rates of COVID-19 transmission, hospitalization and death. These areas were also identified by the province to have populations with higher risk factors including racialization, income, quality of housing, immigration status and education attainment.
Check eligibility requirements and where to get vaccinated above for these Toronto area COVID-19 hot spots:
Ontario Health Teams and hospital mobile clinics and pop-ups will be vaccinating people age 18 and older in these neighbourhoods, identified by their postal codes. People age 18 and older living in these postal codes are also eligible to book at City Immunization Clinics.
Bookings are for:
Each clinic is open 7 days a week from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. but appointments are required. View a map of immunization clinics and filter by City-run clinics, hospital clinics and pharmacies. The map shows location and transit information. For parking and accessibility at City-run clinics see below. Use the TTC Trip Planner to find directions to City-run clinics.
All City-run clinics are able to offer accommodation. Each clinic has parking near the entrance, ramps, elevators, and wheelchairs. Staff are also on site at each clinic to support as necessary. Clients who need a care provider or service animal with them will be accommodated. There are also privacy rooms available upon request.
If you require an accommodation, alert a staff member upon arrival or at any time while at the clinic.

The following information is updated Monday to Friday.
Daily vaccinations administered at each City immunization clinic:
Hospital immunization clinics are currently providing vaccination appointments to individuals based on provincial prioritization guidance. Visit www.vaccineto.ca and review the eligibility criteria for each site. People can also call 1-888-385-1910 for assistance to complete pre-registration forms and book appointments at local vaccine clinics operated by participating hospitals and OHTs.
COVID-19 vaccinations in Toronto are by appointment only and there are no walk-in clinics at this time. Eligible individuals should only sign up at one vaccination clinic site and are asked to not pre-register or book appointments at multiple locations. Individuals are also encouraged to pre-register or book an appointment at the clinics nearest to where they live and, in the case of health care workers, closest to where they work.
All parts of the vaccination program are dependent on vaccine supply and direction from the Province. Vaccine supply is expected to increase substantially in the coming weeks.
Residents should not call 3-1-1 or hospital directly to book appointments nor should they attend a clinic unless they have a confirmed appointment.
View a map of immunization clinics and filter by City-run clinics, hospital clinics and pharmacies. The map shows location and transit options. For parking and accessibility at City-run clinics see below.
Find the pharmacy closest to you that offers COVID-19 vaccines.
Pharmacies are using either Pfizer or Moderna vaccines. These vaccines are available for people who are 18 years or older in 2021 who meet the provincial eligibility criteria.
Most pharmacies book appointments ahead of time and some allow walk-ins. Check with the pharmacy before you go.
Due to supply challenges, COVID-19 vaccines may be out of stock at certain pharmacies. Please check with your pharmacy first.
You must bring a valid Ontario health (OHIP) card, or other form of valid government-issued identification with you to the appointment.
The pharmacy will book your second appointment closer to when the second appointment is due and contact you with the details.
The Vaccine Equity Transportation Plan began March 29. The City is partnering with service providers to offer transportation services for people who may be unable to access or afford existing transportation options to get to their vaccination appointments.
Transportation options are available to people with disabilities, those 55 years old and older, and others who are frail or have underlying conditions which make them at greater risk from COVID-19 and/or render them unable to safely access other modes of transportation.
This program is intended for those who have no other options for transportation to vaccination appointments.
Torontonians are encouraged to help their family members, friends and neighbours with booking their vaccination appointments and providing a ride to their appointments.
A support person or family member can accompany you on the ride, if needed.
Note that transportation vehicles are not accessible and clients should be able to step into the vehicles (with assistance). There will be approximately one hour between drop off at the vaccination clinic and pick up after the appointment.
Transportation is delivered through a collaborative network of City and Ministry of Health funded community not-for-profit agencies that provide rides to vaccination clinics such as City-run immunization clinics, hospitals or pharmacies.
People who receive social assistance may be eligible for medical transportation funds to help cover costs of travel to receive their COVID-19 vaccination. Social assistance recipients should contact their caseworker to access transportation funds they may be eligible for.
Uber Canada has made a generous donation of voucher codes for individual rides.
Starting April 6, these vouchers will be distributed to a network of partner community organizations to provide to people who have no transportation options, live in communities with high rates of COVID-19, who have challenges travelling to be vaccinated, as well as for some people with disabilities. Uber Canada vouchers are limited and are not guaranteed.
The TTC is working with the City to distribute 15,000 TTC ride vouchers through a network of partner community agencies across Toronto to provide to people who cannot afford transit fare, with no-cost rides to and from vaccination sites starting in April.
Existing Wheel-Trans customers can book rides to and from their vaccine appointments by calling Wheel-Trans Reservations at 416-393-4222, seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. or online at the Wheel-Trans Self-Booking.
Customers who qualify for Wheel-Trans service, and would like to arrange a trip to and from their vaccination, can apply by calling Wheel-Trans Customer Service at 416-393-4111, Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Wheel-trans will be reaching out to its approximately 26,000 customers regarding this initiative via email blast, a bulletin on its booking website and a recorded message on its Customer Service line.
There is a limited supply of vaccines available in Ontario at this time. The provincial government has a three phase plan to distribute vaccines, starting with people who are vulnerable to severe illness and death from COVID-19 and certain prioritized populations.
As more vaccines arrive, the vaccination program is expanded. Vaccination is underway for Phase 1 and Phase 2 in the the Province’s vaccination program. Details about Phase 3 timing, who is eligible and the status of completed vaccinations for Ontario is on the Province’s website.
The Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna and AstraZeneca (also known as COVISHIELD) vaccines require two doses. Depending on where you receive your COVID-19 vaccine, you may book an appointment for your second dose at the time of booking your first dose, or you may be asked to book an appointment for your second dose at a later date. It is currently recommended that as much as possible, the same vaccine be used for the second dose. Evidence-informed guidance will be coming shortly on mixed vaccination schedules.
In Ontario, the interval between your first and second dose is up to four months, with very limited exceptions. If you are eligible to receive your second dose earlier due to a medical condition, your health care provider will contact you directly. First Nations, Inuit and Métis individuals residing in urban communities, including non-Indigenous partners and household members can now also receive a second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine earlier than the extended four-month interval.
If you received your first dose at a hospital immunization clinic or pharmacy and do not yet have the second dose booked, please contact the hospital or pharmacy directly to book your second dose. The provincial booking system that is used for booking appointments at City immunization clinics requires you to book appointments for both doses at the time of booking. At this time, you cannot change the location for your second dose appointment.
