HAMILTON, ON – The Hamilton healthcare partners are bringing the COVID-19 vaccine to even more residents of Hamilton by offering an additional 40 mobile clinics in neighbourhood locations across the city.

Hamilton Public Health Services remains committed to the Last Mile Strategy with the priority being administering both first and second doses of the COVID-19 vaccine and ensuring neighbourhoods with lower coverage rates have access to information tailored to their needs and vaccine that is accessible at convenient locations and times. In keeping with this commitment many of these clinics are located in areas of the city with lower vaccination coverage rates to improve access to the vaccine.

Individuals 12 years of age or older before the end of 2021 are eligible to receive a first or second dose of a COVID-19 vaccine and can walk-in to any of the below clinics. Appointments are required for third or booster doses.
