The Vax And Read campaign, which brings COVID-19 vaccination clinics to 12 Toronto Public Library branches, also continues until Wednesday, March 16 .

More information about all immunization clinics, including location addresses and hours of operation, is available on the City’s COVID-19: How to Get Vaccinated webpage.

Clinic locations have been selected by TPH in focused neighborhoods 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. As part of Team Toronto’s hyper-local, equity-focused strategy, locations were chosen to facilitate accessibility and convenience in places that are part of Torontonians’ everyday lives.
