Dear Friends and Neighbours, 

There will be a pop-up vaccination clinic for 18+ on April 24th and 25th, taking place at Charles E. Webster Public School (1900 Keele St) for those living within the M6M postal code area. View the flyer for details. I am working with Provincial health partners to bring more pop-up clinics to York South-Weston. I should have more to share in the next day or two.

West Park Healthcare Centre continues to vaccinate residents 18+ from all postal codes in our community and have opened up their second vaccination clinic at The Community Place Hub (1765 Weston Road). New appointments are made available every Thursday at 7 pm. Book your appointment at www.wpcovidclinic,org.

Earlier this week it was announced that people age 40 or older (or will be turning 40 this year) are now able to book an appointment to receive the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine. These appointments can be made directly with any participating pharmacy in your area.  To find your closest participating pharmacy and to book an appointment to get the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine, click
here.

Additionally, City of Toronto vaccination clinics are continuing to book vaccination appointments for residents 60 years of age or older (or 50 years of age and older for those living in our area). For more information click here.

Finally, TCHC continues to roll out the vaccine in their buildings across the city, with 5 Bellevue Cres. and 20-40 Falstaff Avenue to be done in the upcoming days.

Sincerely,

Frances

COVID-19 Updates

Vaccine access to triple in 13 hot spot neighbourhoods, 2 in Ward 5
 

As Toronto expects to start regularly receiving larger shipments of vaccine from the Province of Ontario, the City of Toronto is working with Health Sector partners to ensure that this increased vaccine supply will be offered to eligible individuals, especially in hot spots, where they live as quickly as possible through mobile and pop-up community vaccination clinics. As part of the Team Toronto Sprint Strategy, TPH and Health Sector partners have identified 13 priority areas identified by postal code to direct increased vaccine to through mobile and pop-up clinics - the postal codes in Ward 5 are M9N and M6M. The nine City-operated COVID-19 immunization clinics will continue to operate from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. seven days per week. A new block of approximately 231,000 individual appointments in City-operated immunization clinics between May 10 and June 6 will be available soon through the Province’s online booking system: https://covid-19.ontario.ca/book-vaccine/
