Pop-up COVID-19 vaccine clinics this week open to all
Ottawa Public Health says its pop-up COVID-19 vaccine clinics are now open to anyone in the city 12 and older, no matter where they live.
Vaccination clinics have been popping up across Ottawa for months, but were limited to residents of select high priority neighbourhoods.
However, as of July 21, pop-up clinics became open to all residents. More than 70 per cent of adults in Ottawa are fully immunized, but the city's top health officials are pushing for a goal of 90 per cent vaccine coverage among the eligible population.
Ottawa Public Health says anyone age 12 and up who has not yet had a first or second dose can now drop in to any city-run community clinic between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. or any pop-up clinic, while supplies last, and get a vaccine without an appointment. Residents can also drop in at the Queensway Carleton Hospital between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. daily.
You can find pop-up clinics at the following locations this week:
Monday, July 26 and Tuesday, July 27 – 12:45 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

The City of Ottawa releases the number of available walk-in appointments at its community clinics daily on its Twitter account.
The earliest date that you can receive your second dose is 28 days after your first dose if you received either the Pfizer-BioNTech or the Moderna vaccine and eight weeks after your first dose if you received the AstraZeneca vaccine.
Pop-up clinics for children
CHEO and other partners of the Kids Come First Health Team are providing a dedicated pop-up clinic for youth 12 to 17 this week.
Parents can also be vaccinated if they bring their children, but kids 12 to 17 are the focus.
This clinic is being held at the University of Ottawa Minto Sports Complex at 801 King Edward Ave from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday to Thursday.
