“Once again, we are promoting dozens of local vaccine clinics this weekend. Shop And Vax highlights the COVID-19 vaccine clinics in malls across the city, as well as those operating in community centres, libraries, schools and places of worship. Toronto Public Health has made it clear how important it is for all of us to be vaccinated against COVID-19, therefore, we urge residents who haven’t yet been fully vaccinated to do so as soon as they can. Many of these clinics are also offering the flu vaccine which we can’t forget how important it is at this time of year.”
– Mayor John Tory
“The best way to stay safe and healthy is by getting your shots: your COVID-19 vaccine, as well as your annual flu shot. This week, Torontonians can get their first and second doses of COVID vaccine – and third doses, for those who are eligible – at local malls, shopping centres, community centres, libraries and pharmacies. Some of these clinics will also offer flu shots, helping Torontonians to protect themselves and others this winter.”
– Councillor Joe Cressy (Spadina-Fort York), Chair, Board of Health
“We continue to take every step to make it as convenient as possible for Torontonians to get the best protection against COVID-19. Thank you to all of our Team Toronto partners for your continued support towards helping residents to protect themselves and those around them by getting fully vaccinated. This weekend’s latest Shop And Vax campaign is another example of Team Toronto’s hard work to bring vaccine to every part of our city and to help us to end this pandemic.”
– Dr. Eileen de Villa, Medical Officer of Health
