#TeamToronto vaccination Sprint Strategy getting results in 13 high priority postal codes, adding four more areas. News release: toronto.ca/news/team-toro…
Following a successful first two weeks rolling out the Toronto Sprint Strategy, the #CityofTO and #TeamToronto vaccination partners continue to prioritize postal code areas with high rates of #COVID19 for mobile and pop-up clinic vaccinations
The Sprint Strategy targeted 13 postal code areas last week and tripled the number of per-week doses available to the prioritized communities. Over the course of the week, vaccine coverage of adults age 18 and older in the 13 areas moved from approximately 12% to more than 35%.
In the M1G and M1J postal codes, coverage moved from approximately 14% to almost 45% for those age 18 and older, surpassing the city-wide 36% coverage for people age 18 and older during this time.
This week, 96,000 doses of vaccine have been allocated to the Sprint Strategy. Toronto Public Health and Team Toronto partners are prioritizing four new postal code areas in east Toronto for Sprint Strategy mobile and pop-up clinics: M1B, M1M, M1P and M1L.
