As of Monday, March 29, 2021, all individuals aged 70 and over in the Ottawa Public Health unit will be eligible to book a COVID-19 vaccination appointment at a mass immunization clinic through the provincial online booking system at ontario.ca/bookvaccine, or individuals who require assistance with booking an appointment can call the Provincial Vaccine Information Line number at 1-888-999-6488. The provincial vaccine information line is open Monday to Sunday, 8AM to 8PM.
Appointments will be available at four community vaccination clinics:
- Nepean Sportsplex- 1701 Woodroffe Avenue, Ottawa
- Ruddy Family YMCA-YWCA – 265 Centrum Blvd, Ottawa
- Eva James Memorial Community Centre – 65 Stonehaven Drive, Ottawa
- Ottawa City Hall – 110 Laurier Avenue West
To enable physical distancing and to reduce the number of people in the clinic, please arrive for your vaccine no more than 10 minutes before your appointment time.
As vaccine supply is delivered across the province and additional public health units begin vaccinating individuals aged 70 and over, vaccine administration rates may differ based on local context. Rollout and timing has been further impacted by the latest delay in shipment of the Moderna vaccine, initially planned for March 30 but now delayed until April 7. For more information on local vaccine rollout, individuals are encouraged to contact their local public health unit.
Ontario continues to work with public health units to vaccinate remaining Phase One populations, including First Nation, Metis, and Inuit adults, health care workers, adult chronic home care recipients, and residents and staff in congregate care settings for seniors. Public health units have been directed to consider accessibility issues in their plans and have local solutions, such as mobile clinics and transportation supports.
