Bringing COVID-19 vaccines to social and cultural events is part of Team Toronto’s ongoing mobile strategy, focused on equity, hyper-locality, providing accessible and convenient vaccination opportunities to residents in the places where they live, work and play.
The clinics are family-friendly and will offer first, second, third, fourth and pediatric doses of COVID-19 to eligible residents, including children ages five and older and adults. The clinics operate regularly and no appointment or health card is required. Pfizer and Moderna will be available.
All eligible residents are encouraged to receive their third and fourth doses as soon as possible. As with vaccinations for other diseases, people are better protected when their COVID-19 vaccines are up-to-date. Vaccinations against COVID-19 have been scientifically proven to reduce the risk of illness, hospitalization and death, protecting people, their loved ones and the community. Residents with three doses had the lowest rates of hospitalization, ICU admissions, and deaths than those with any other level of vaccination.
