Assistance with Transportation to Vaccine Appointments

This morning the City announced its Vaccine Equity Transportation Plan (launching March 29), to help ensure vulnerable residents and seniors can access COVID-19 vaccinations, by removing barriers to transportation and making it easier to travel to clinics. This includes rides with TTC, Uber and assisted community transportation services (Toronto Ride, Scarborough Ride and iRide). For details see “Transportation to Clinics” on this page or be in touch with your questions.

Supporting Seniors to Register for Appointments

Thank you to community agencies and seniors-serving organizations for calling your senior clients and assisting them to register for vaccine appointments. Registration for immunization clinic appointments is lower than planned at this time. Please let us know if there are barriers your clients face, or that you as an organization face in supporting senior clients to register.
