Toronto COVID-19 vaccine online registration for eligible seniors now live
Today, the City of Toronto announced that the online registration system for Toronto residents born in 1941 and earlier to book COVID-19 vaccination appointments at a City operated clinic is live on toronto.ca/covid-19.
As of Sunday evening, 11,178 people have booked appointments to receive their COVID-19 vaccine at one of six City-operated immunization clinics between March 17 and April 11. Registration was temporarily suspended last night at 8 p.m. to allow the Province to move to their permanent vaccination appointment booking system. Eligible seniors age 80 and older can now continue to book appointments through the dark blue “Register” button on toronto.ca/covid-19 with the added option of booking by phone through the Provincial Vaccine Booking Line at 1-833-943-3900 (TTY 1-866-797-0007). More information on booking options is available on the Province’s What to expect when you get a COVID-19 vaccine webpage.
The City continues to experience a high volume of traffic to toronto.ca and the provincial booking system. Eligible residents booking appointments are asked to be patient and those who are not yet eligible should not to attempt access the booking system. City 311 and Toronto Public Health staff do not have access to the provincial booking system and are not able to help with registration; no one should call 311 or Toronto Public Health to book an appointment. When clinics open on March 17, anyone who arrives at a clinic without confirmed appointments will not be vaccinated.
The City has assembled frequently asked questions about COVID-19 vaccination appointments to help eligible residents understand the appointment booking process for City-operated clinics. Any new developments or information will always be shared on www.toronto.ca/covid-19.
As Toronto awaits the rollout of mass immunization, to reduce and eliminate the transmission of COVID-19, protect the healthcare system and save lives, the City continues to urge all residents to stay home as much as possible to help stop the spread of COVID-19.
