East Toronto Health Partners and Michael Garron Hospital are hosting a trio of pop-up COVID-19 vaccination clinics this week in southwest Scarborough.
The clinics are slated for Tuesday, June 29 and Wednesday, June 30.
Both first and second doses will be available at the clinics, but priority for second doses will be given to those who are considered to be living in “hot spot” postal codes for the Delta variant of the virus.

.Those planning on attending a pop-up clinic are reminded that they must meet the eligibility criteria in order to be given a shot.
“Individuals who do not fit the indicated eligibility will be turned away to ensure there are enough vaccines for eligible populations,” said Michael Garron Hospital on its website.
Those planning on attending one of the clinics are asked to bring their health card and a proof of address. However, a health card is not required if you do not have one, organizers said.
