TORONTO, ON, Sept. 22, 2021 – Starting Saturday, Torontonians can get vaccinated and some of the city’s most popular malls. Mayor John Tory has just announced #ShopAndVax — a focused initiative to bring COVID-19 vaccines to local shopping centres on Saturday, September 25 and Sunday, September 26. The campaign is part of Team Toronto’s continued efforts to make COVID-19 vaccines as accessible as possible and to bring vaccines to where residents live, work and play.

The City of Toronto has partnered with Toronto Public Health, University Health Network, along with Cadillac Fairview Corp. Ltd. and Oxford Properties Group to hold a number of mobile clinics to support a low-barrier access for residents to get their first or second COVID-19 vaccine dose. These clinics will be held this weekend from 12 to 5 p.m. at the following locations:

  • CF Fairview Mall – 1800 Sheppard Ave E.
  • CF Sherway Gardens – 25 The West Mall
  • CF Shops at Don Mills – 1090 Don Mills Rd.
  • CF Toronto Eaton Centre – 220 Yonge St.
  • Yorkdale Shopping Centre – 3401 Dufferin St.

The clinics were selected as part of the Team Toronto Mobile Strategy data approach to continue to remove barriers and bring vaccines to residents in areas and settings that have low vaccination coverage, or who are at high risk of contracting COVID-19, or both. They were also chosen to facilitate easy access in locations that part of Torontonian’s everyday lives.

“The clinics we are running on #ShopAndVax weekend will help build on our success helping residents get vaccinated. I want to thank Cadillac Fairview and Oxford Properties for being partners with us on these clinics and for making this push possible. This is one more way we are bringing vaccines directly to people. Now, while people are out, running errands they can also get their vaccine and help us achieve our goal of getting 90 per cent of residents vaccinated. This is how we will protect the progress we have made fighting COVID-19 and bring this pandemic to an end. It is how we will keep schools and businesses and arts and sports venues open and keep our city on the path to recovery.”– Mayor John Tory

In addition to the #ShopAndVax clinics this weekend, more than 25 additional mobile clinics are in operation across the city. A list of public mobile clinic opportunities can be found on City of Toronto website.
