January 17, 2022

Thanks to Team Toronto’s continued vaccination efforts, more than 50 percent of eligible Toronto residents received a third dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. Team Toronto has made third doses at Toronto City-run clinics, mobile clinics, hospital partner clinics, and more than 525 local pharmacies and clinics.

Last weekend, Team Toronto held a clinic to administer the COVID-19 vaccine to children and educated workers prior to returning to today’s in-class learning.

Last Friday, the city added 8,000 new COVID-19 vaccination appointments across five city-operated immune clinics. This includes today’s 4,488 new bookings. There are still reservations available for eligible adults or children to be vaccinated today.Appointments can be booked immediately with the state booking system here .. Those who are eligible to accelerate their first, second, or third dose are highly advised to move their bookings today. Municipal clinics are almost fully booked for the rest of the week.

Given the emergence of new Omicron variants and the continued community infection of Delta variants, TPH encourages all eligible residents to book a third dose. Residents who have not received the first or second COVID-19 vaccination are advised to do so as soon as possible. The COVID-19 vaccine reduces the risk of serious illness, hospitalization and death while protecting yourself, your loved ones and your community.
