The city said the clinic locations were chosen as part of Toronto’s “Team Mobile Strategy” approach to remove barriers and bring vaccines to residents in areas and settings that have low vaccination coverage or are at risk of contracting COVID-19.

The malls were also chosen as they are part of residents’ everyday lives, officials said. The campaign is being called #ShopAndVax.
