News Release
June 12, 2021

The City of Toronto is working non-stop with its healthcare partners, pharmacies and Toronto Public Health to administer all available COVID-19 vaccines. To date, 2,570,056
COVID-19 vaccine doses have been administered in Toronto.

Vaccinations at City clinics are by appointment only and walk-in clients cannot be accommodated. Anyone who cannot attend a scheduled appointment is urged to cancel or reschedule. This allows others to book an available appointment and ensures that the City and healthcare partners can vaccinate the maximum number of people every day as quickly as possible.

Everyone age 12 years or older is encouraged to book a first dose appointment as soon as possible by clicking the blue “Book a Vaccine” button or through phone by calling the Provincial Vaccine Booking Line at 1-833-943-3900.

Currently, bookings for accelerated second dose appointments are available for people 70 years of age and older, anyone who received a first Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine dose on or before April 18 and anyone who received a first AstraZeneca vaccine dose more than 12 weeks ago. At 8 a.m. on Monday, June 14, all Toronto residents, regardless of neighbourhood, who and received a first dose of Pfizer or Moderna vaccine on May 9 or earlier will be eligible to book their accelerated second dose appointment in the provincial booking system. Learn about eligibility (including people 12 years and older) at COVID-19: How to Get Vaccinated – City of Toronto.
