March 25, 2021

The City of Toronto is working with all our healthcare partners, pharmacies and Toronto Public Health to administer all available COVID-19 vaccines. To date, 419,665 COVID-19 vaccine doses have been administered in Toronto.

The City is currently vaccinating residents born in 1946 and earlier at three of the City-operated mass immunization clinics: Metro Toronto Convention Centre, Toronto Congress Centre and Scarborough Town Centre. On March 29, City-operated clinics at Malvern Community Recreation Centre and Mitchell Field Community Centre will open, followed by The Hangar location on April 5.

As of yesterday evening, approximately 48,000 people have booked COVID-19 vaccination appointments at a City-run clinic. Due to a reporting delay, this number might not reflect all appointments booked, which is estimated to be higher. Eligible seniors can book appointments through the dark blue “Find out if you are eligible to book” button on www.toronto.ca/covid-19 with the added option of booking by phone through the Provincial Vaccine Information Line at 1-888-999-6488.

The City, Toronto Public Health, hospitals and community healthcare centres are all working together to get Torontonians vaccinated as quickly as possible. Getting vaccinated protects individuals, their close contacts and the community. As vaccine supply for the general population becomes widely available from the Government of Canada and the Province, more than 350 clinics, including pharmacies and mobile clinics across Toronto, will vaccinate people following the priority framework established by the Province.
