Hamilton’s COVID-19 vaccination program includes additional mobile pop-up vaccination clinics for community “hot spot” populations

HAMILTON, ON – The Hamilton healthcare partners continue to make progress in vaccinating members of the community. We are pleased to announce that to date, we have administered approximately 145,321 doses of COVD-19 vaccine – with 25.4% of eligible Hamiltonians receiving a vaccine to date.

To increase vaccination rates in community hot spots, additional mobile vaccination clinics will pop-up within these communities. The postal codes that are currently eligible for those who live in and are ages 50+ are as follows: L9C, L8W, L8L, L8N, L9K.

• Members of the public, who are ages 50+ and live in the eligible postal codes L9C, L8W, L8L, L8N and L9K can call the Public Health Services COVID-19 Hotline at 905-974-9848, option 7 for an appointment at a mobile “hot spot” pop-up clinic. Due to potential call volumes expected at the call centre, we ask that those who are calling for an appointment are patient and call back if the lines are busy. 
• Members of the public, who are ages 50+ and live in the eligible postal codes L9C and L8W can book an appointment online using the Provincial booking portal found at www.hamilton.ca/VaccineBooking for a large-scale clinic.

Proof of address must be shown when arriving for an appointment if eligibility is due to a hot spot address.

Please note, the mobile team will be at these locations on the following dates and will return for scheduled second dose appointments.
