Ottawa Public Health is again expanding drop-in eligibility for COVID-19 vaccines in the city.
As of Wednesday, anyone who is eligible for a first, second, or booster dose can drop in at a community clinic, no appointment necessary.
On Monday, OPH expanded drop-in eligibility to education and child-care workers, health-care workers, pregnant women and anyone over 60 at three clinics.
The health unit said that while drop-ins will be accepted, they may not be guaranteed and booking a shot on the provincial portal can ensure you get a shot.
Ottawa surpassed the 90 per cent threshold Monday for first doses among the population 5 and older, with 898,000 residents having had at least one shot; including 50,000 children aged 5 to 11. Nearly 420,000 residents have had booster shots.
