The City of Toronto says starting today it will begin running clinics at city-run long-term care homes to administer fourth doses of a COVID-19 vaccine to eligible residents.
The clinics are operated in partnership with Michael Garron Hospital and the first round of shots will be administered to 131 eligible residents at True Davidson Acres on Dawes Road.
Five other city-operated long-term care homes will host fourth-dose clinics later this week, including Wychwood Towers, Fudger House, Kipling Acres, Wesburn Manor, and Seven Oaks. Clinics at Bendale Acres, Carefree Lodge, Cummer Lodge, and Lakeshore Lodge are expected to be booked in the coming days.
Last week, the province announced that it would be making fourth doses available to long-term care and retirement home residents who received their third dose at least three months ago.
The Ontario government has also made it mandatory for staff at these facilities to have three doses of a COVID-19 vaccine.
