Toronto Public Health continues to host summer pop-up vaccination clinics across the city in partnership with Toronto’s Canada Day festivals and special events. This is part of Team Toronto’s ongoing efforts to provide COVID-19 vaccination opportunities in the places where residents live, work and play.
“As people gather to celebrate Canada Day across the city, Team Toronto will be helping residents get vaccinated against COVID-19 and keep their vaccinations up to date,” said Mayor John Tory. “We’ve made such progress thanks to our world-leading vaccination efforts, and that’s why we’re continuing to work this holiday and into the summer to help deliver vaccine doses.”
TPH will host the following vaccination clinics in early July:
• High Park Canada Day Festival at High Park, 1873 Bloor St. W., Friday, July 1, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m
• East York Canada Day Festival at Stan Wadlow Park. 373 Cedarvale Ave., Friday, July 1, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m
• Canada Day event at Mel Lastman Square, 5100 Yonge St. Friday, July 1, 2 to 7 p.m

These family- and youth-friendly clinics will provide first, second, third, fourth and pediatric doses of COVID-19 to eligible residents age five and older upon walk-in, with no appointment or health card required. Pfizer and Moderna vaccines will be offered by TPH nurses, who will also answer questions related to COVID-19 and vaccines.
Residents can continue to get vaccinated at city-run immunization clinics, primary care offices and more than 525 pharmacies. A complete list of clinic locations and hours is available on the city’s COVID-19 webpage: Where to get vaccinated.
Beginning Monday, July 4, the city-run immunization clinic at Metro Hall will be open Monday through Friday from noon to 6 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Residents can find a pharmacy offering vaccinations against COVID-19 using the Government of Ontario’s website for COVID-19 vaccine pharmacy locations.
All eligible residents are encouraged to receive their third and fourth doses as soon as possible. As with vaccines for other diseases, people are best protected when they are up to date. COVID-19 vaccines have been scientifically proven to reduce the risk of illness, hospitalization, and death while protecting yourself, loved ones, and the community, and residents with three doses had the lowest rates of hospitalization, ICU, and death of any other vaccination level.
