Details

• Children’s activities, quiet room, nurses with clear masks available.
• Accommodation requests taken during registration process.
• Holland Bloorview staff will be on site to provide support.
• It must be at least 56 days since the first dose to receive the second.
• Booster doses are available for children aged 12+.
  • It must be at least six months (168 days) since the second dose.
  • Children aged 5-11 may be eligible for a third dose but eligibility is very specific to immunocompromised populations. Please refer to the city of Toronto's website for more information and eligibility requirements.
  • Documentation to demonstrate qualification is required.

We are aware of the recent news that second booster access has opened up for the 18+ population and that Health Canada has approved approved Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine for children aged 6 months – 5 years. Please note that we work with Toronto Public Health (TPH) to host these clinics.  TPH works weeks in advance to plan staffing and dose inventory. They also need time to update their eligibility protocol when new populations become eligible. For these reasons, the July 22 clinic will not be offering second boosters (4^th doses)  to the 18+ population, first doses to children aged 6 months – 5 years or first boosters (3^rd doses) to children aged 5-12 unless they fall under eligibility requirements for specific populations (such as those that are immunocompromised) as noted above.

However, we are in active discussions with TPH to increase capacity for future clinics to meet anticipated demand for newly-eligible populations.
