The City is currently vaccinating residents born in 1941 and earlier at three of the City-operated mass immunization clinics: Metro Toronto Convention Centre, Toronto Congress Centre and Scarborough Town Centre. Starting today, individuals born in 1946 and earlier, are also able to book a COVID-19 vaccination appointment.

Eligible seniors can book appointments online (click the dark blue “Find out if you are eligible to book” button) or by phone through the Provincial Vaccine Information Line at 1-888-999-6488. For more information about what to expect when you get a COVID-19 vaccine please visit the provincial website.
