Milton will be getting another COVID-19 community clinic for the vaccine.
The Halton Region says that with an incoming increase in vaccine supply, starting on Monday, July 26th, it will be opening its ninth community clinic at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Secondary School, located at 1145 Bronte Street S. in Milton. This clinic will offer first and second doses to residents 12-years of age and older.
Capacity will also be increased at several existing clinics. This will offer residents the opportunity to smoothly book their first appointment or reschedule their second appointment to an earlier date.
“We are pleased to offer more convenient options for our residents to get their first and second COVID-19 doses,” says Halton Regional Chair Gary Carr. “We are making great progress on our vaccine rollout, with 80% of residents 12 years of age and older having received at least one dose and 51% fully vaccinated. As we receive more supply from the Province, we will continue to open up more appointments to get everyone in our community fully vaccinated as quickly as possible.”
In addition to new appointments available at the Region’s community clinics, the Province will be operating three pop-up COVID-19 Vaccination Clinics in Milton and Oakville this month. These clinics will also offer first and second doses of the Pfizer vaccine to Halton residents 12 years of age and older.
The Provincial Pop-up clinics will take place at the following locations, dates and times:
- St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Secondary School, 124 Dorval Drive, Oakville
- Wednesday, July 14 & Thursday July 15, from 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
- Craig Kielburger Secondary School, 1151 Ferguson Drive, Milton
- Saturday, July 17 & Sunday, July 18, from 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
- Holy Trinity Catholic Secondary School, 2420 Sixth Line, Oakville
- Saturday, July 24 & Sunday, July 25 from 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
If you meet the minimum dose interval requirement (28-days since first shot), you can book an appointment to receive the Pfizer vaccine for your second dose at these Provincial Pop-up clinics.
“Our top priority is to get as many people in our community vaccinated as quickly as possible, and these additional clinics will help more residents get their COVID-19 vaccine,” says Dr. Hamidah Meghani, Halton Region Medical Officer of Health. “Receiving all the required doses of a COVID-19 vaccine series is a critical part of protecting you, your family and our community from COVID-19 and variants of concern. The more residents that get vaccinated, the closer we get to achieving community protection and getting back to normal. It’s time to roll up your sleeves Halton!”
Residents are able to book appointments at these clinics through Halton’s online booking system.
