The process for clinics operated by York Region Public Health requires two steps. Individuals booking appointments must first create an account and then book an appointment.
Residents age 80+ who are not comfortable booking an online appointment are encouraged to seek out a support person (caregiver, family member or friend) who can assist in booking this appointment on their behalf. Telephone support is also available.
Contact centre information is available at york.ca/Covid19Vaccine
Residents may be required to wait outside for a short period of time before their appointment, so it is important to properly prepare for your COVID-19 vaccine before visiting the clinic.
As vaccine supply increases, residents are encouraged to check back often for appointments that may become available. York Region will continue to publicly communicate new online booking opportunities through multiple communication channels, including york.ca, social media and our media and community partners.
Walk-in appointments are not available; please do not visit a vaccination clinic without an appointment – you will be turned away.
