Where to get vaccinated

Vaccinations are free and available to everyone aged six months and older at the following sites:

• Clinics listed in the Ontario Government’s COVID-19 vaccination portal
• City immunization clinics operated by Toronto Public Health, including Thorncliffe Park Community Hub (45 Overlea Blvd.)
• Participating primary care providers (e.g. your family doctor)
• Participating pharmacies
• Indigenous-led vaccination clinics

What to do if you have COVID-19 symptoms

If your symptoms are severe and potentially life-threatening (e.g. shortness of breath or chest pain), please call 9-1-1 immediately or go to your nearest hospital emergency department.

If your symptoms are not life-threatening, take the Ontario Government’s COVID-19 Self-Assessment for recommendations on what to do next. Recommended next steps may include self-isolating or, if you are at higher risk of severe illness, seeking COVID-19 testing and treatment like the Paxlovid pill.

Where to get treatment

If you have symptoms (even if they are mild) and you are at higher risk of severe COVID‑19, seek testing and care immediately by either:

• Contacting a pharmacist who is prescribing Paxlovid
• Visiting a Clinical Assessment Centre (where you can get tested, assessed and treated or a prescription)
• Contacting a primary care provider (e.g. your family doctor or nurse practitioner)

You can use a rapid antigen test (RAT) if you have one, but it’s important to understand that these tests may be negative in the early stage of infection. If you do not have a RAT, or if your test result is negative, seek PCR testing and clinical assessment immediately.
