Toronto to host pop-up COVID-19 vaccine clinic along St. Patrick’s Day Parade route

Toronto will be hosting a pop-up COVID-19 vaccine clinic on Sunday, along the city’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade route.

In a tweet Saturday morning, Toronto Mayor John Tory said the pop-up clinic will be held in partnership with Toronto Public Health and St. Patrick’s Toronto.

According to Tory, the clinic will be held on March 20, from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., at Yonge and Dundas Square in downtown Toronto.

“This clinic is part of #TeamToronto’s hyper-local approach — bringing clinics straight to residents,” Tory wrote in the tweet.

According to the parade’s website, the procession will begin at noon at the corner of St. George Street and Bloor Street West, before heading east on Bloor Street and turning south on Yonge Street.
