Team Toronto COVID-19 vaccination update

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, 2,750,172 COVID-19 vaccine doses have been administered in Toronto.

As of yesterday evening, approximately 796,859 people have booked COVID-19 vaccination appointments at a City-operated clinic.

In response to unprecedented demand for second dose vaccine appointments, the City of Toronto will be adding 30,000 appointments at its immunization clinics, which will be available today at 8 a.m. for vaccination appointments between June 22 and 27. These new appointments will be for the Moderna vaccine only – this is the first time the City has offered Moderna rather than exclusively Pfizer vaccine at its immunization clinics.

Last Monday, the Province opened accelerated second dose bookings to both individuals who received a first dose of Moderna or Pfizer vaccine on or before May 9, and people who received a first dose of AstraZeneca vaccine eight weeks or more ago (previously 12 weeks or more). Learn about eligibility (including people 12 years and older).

Everyone age 12 years or older is encouraged to book their vaccination appointment as soon as possible by clicking the blue “Book a Vaccine” button at City’s COVID-19 webpage or through phone by calling the Provincial Vaccine Booking Line at 1-833-943-3900.

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 as soon as possible to allow others to book available appointments.
