Beginning today, more than 70 COVID-19 vaccine clinics will take place over March Break as Team Toronto brings vaccines to residents where they live, study, work and play. March Break vaccine clinics by the numbers:
•    Seventy-two vaccine clinics operating throughout March Break
•    Dozens of locations including community centres, schools, malls, camps, churches and libraries
•    Seven days of clinics from Monday, March 14 to Sunday, March 20
•    Five City of Toronto clinics: Cloverdale Mall, Metro Toronto Convention Centre, Mitchell Field Community Centre, Woodbine Mall, 1940 Eglinton Ave. E.
•    Four Team Toronto partners are running the clinics: Toronto Public Health (TPH), Michael Garron Hospital, North York General Hospital and Women’s College Hospital
•    One major transit hub: Union Station
Many of the clinics are family-friendly and youth-focused to support a positive vaccination experience that will include privacy pods, puppets and activities, distraction aids and other accommodations. Community centres hosting City CampTO March Break programs will also be offering vaccinations to participants and families at camp locations.
School-based vaccines will also be available at City-run immunization clinics until the end of March Break, providing Hepatitis B, Human Papillomavirus (HPV) and Meningococcal vaccines for students in grades seven to 12 who have missed starting or completing their vaccine series at schools due to COVID-19 disruptions. Appointments can be booked online at www.tphbookings.ca/Default.asp
Clinic locations have been selected by TPH in focused neighbourhoods to remove barriers and bring vaccines to residents in areas and settings with low vaccination rates, and to residents who are at high risk of contracting COVID-19. All clinic information, including location addresses and hours of operation, is available on the City’s COVID-19: Where to Get Vaccinated webpage: www.toronto.ca/home/covid-19/c
