The City’s ability to offer first dose vaccination appointments and administer vaccine at City-operated immunization clinics is dependent on vaccine supply from the Province of Ontario and the Government of Canada.
Since expanding eligibility to anyone 18 and older from a hot spot postal code on Monday morning, 223,817 people have booked vaccination appointments for City-operated immunization clinics.
Based on current supply, as of noon today, all City-operated clinics are fully booked or very close to fully booked from today until June 6.
Tomorrow morning, 60,000 vaccination appointments for City-operated clinics between June 7 and 13 will open in the provincial booking system. As additional vaccine is provided to the City, the City Immunization Task Force is ready to expand clinic operations to match.
As of 8 a.m. tomorrow morning, new groups will also be eligible to book appointments through the provincial booking system for vaccination appointments at City-operated immunization clinics:
1. People age 50 to 54
2. First Nations, Inuit and Métis individuals
(contd.)
(contd.)
3. People with high-risk health conditions
4. Employees unable to work from home listed by the Province as Group One
Information about highest- and high-risk health conditions and professions in Group One can be found in Ontario’s COVID-19 Vaccination Plan: covid-19.ontario.ca/ontarios-covid…
A full list of eligible groups with information on where and how to register for appointments is available at: toronto.ca/home/covid-19/…
Those seeking a vaccine appointment are also encouraged to register and check availability with healthcare partners through vaccineto.ca, local pharmacies or healthcare providers.
There are 991 new cases of COVID-19 in Toronto today. There are 1,162 people hospitalized. To date, there have been 3,138 COVID-19 deaths in Toronto. Case status data can be found on the Toronto Public Health’s reporting dashboard at toronto.ca/home/covid-19/…

A garden suite is a housing unit, usually located in the backyard of an existing house, but separate and detached from the main house. Garden suites, like laneway suites, are generally smaller than the main house on the lot and are intended to function as a rental housing unit.
The City is gathering input from stakeholders about how to best allow the construction of garden suites in Toronto. Matters related to privacy, shadowing, parking requirements, and protecting trees and green spaces are among those being considered.
