Dear patients, 

Vaccination eligibility is changing daily and we would encourage you to get vaccinated if you’re eligible!

COVID-19 Hot Spot Postal Codes:

The Province has identified these 53 priority areas and COVID-19 hot spot postal codes for increased vaccination efforts by first half of postal codes for those who are 50 years or older (born in 1971 or earlier). Ontario Health Teams and hospital mobile clinics and pop-ups will be vaccinating people age 18 and older in these neighbourhoods, identified by their postal codes.

*People with postal codes M5V, M6E, M6H between the ages of 18-49 in three COVID-19 hotspots can now register for vaccines through the University Health Network (UHN): https://covidvaccine.uhn.ca/vaccination-registration-form

People age 18 and older who live in these neighbourhoods cannot book using the provincial booking system at this time.
