Toronto Public Health says it is permanently closing its four fixed-site vaccination clinics.
As of Dec. 13, TPH will close its four vaccine sites throughout the city: Metro Hall in downtown Toronto; Cloverdale Mall in Etobicoke; North York Civic Centre near Mel Lastman Square; and Progress Avenue near the Scarborough Town Centre.

TPH says these closures signify a transition in Toronto’s COVID-19 response, as provincial funding for emergency pandemic efforts comes to an end.
Vaccines will still be available for Toronto residents through primary health providers and pharmacies, according to TPH.
