Toronto Is Getting Over 14,000 COVID-19 Vaccine Appointments & Here's When

Anyone who is looking to book their booster dose appointments in Toronto over the holiday break will be able to do so for New Year's weekend.

In a news release posted on December 23, the City of Toronto announced they'll be opening up over 14,000 new COVID-19 vaccine bookings at City-run clinics to Torontonians from January 1 to 3.

Anyone interested in signing up for that weekend can already start scheduling appointments now, as vaccine bookings became available starting at 8 a.m. on December 23 through the provincial booking system.

"As of this week, residents 18 and older who received their second dose of COVID-19 vaccine at least three months (84 days) ago are eligible to book a third dose," city officials wrote in the announcement.

These new availabilities are not just for booster dose appointments, either, as the City is encouraging Torontonians to get their first or second COVID-19 vaccine doses, too, throughout the holidays this year.

Earlier this week, Toronto said it would also be working through Christmas weekend to provide more options for residents to get their vaccines.

If you can't book in at a City-run clinic, there are over 500 participating pharmacies across the 6ix that are offering residents COVID-19 vaccines.

Last week the Ford government unveiled its updated vaccine rollout, which expanded eligibilities to include all Ontarians 18-years-old and older to get their booster doses amid growing concerns about the highly transmissible Omicron variant, and the rapidly rising case count in the province.
