City of Hamilton Media Release
For Immediate Release September 3, 2021 

HAMILTON, ON – The Hamilton healthcare partners continue to make progress in vaccinating members of the community who fall into the Province’s COVID-19 Vaccination Framework. To date, Hamilton healthcare partners have administered 786,344 doses of COVD-19 vaccine – with 80.1 per cent of eligible Hamiltonians receiving a vaccine to date and 72.8 per cent fully vaccinated.

The Hamilton healthcare partners, along with the Provincial GO-VAXX Bus initiative, will be bringing the COVID-19 vaccine to even more residents of Hamilton by offering mobile clinics in neighbourhoods across the city. Many of these clinics will be situated in areas of the city with lower vaccination coverage rates in order 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.

The following clinics are available to Hamilton-Wentworth Catholic District School Board and Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board students, families and staff in each school community, plus eligible students from elementary feeder schools. Individuals born in 2009 and earlier who are eligible to receive a first or second dose of a COVID- 19 vaccine can walk-in to any of the below clinics.

Working with postsecondary institution partners in Hamilton, the following clinics will be available for all students, faculty and employees of the institution.

With back-to-school around the corner, and a return to more indoor settings in the Fall, it’s vital that Hamilton’s vaccination coverage continues to increase and that all Hamiltonians follow public health measures to reduce the spread of the virus.

There are many locations in Hamilton for community members born in 2009 and earlier to get their first and second dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, such as primary care-led clinics, mobile pop-up clinics and local pharmacies. Vaccines can be accessed both on a walk-in basis at many of these locations or by booking an appointment.

Information regarding walk-in options, booking an appointment and frequently asked questions are available at hamilton.ca/GetYourVaccine.
