The time is now to book your COVID-19 vaccine appointment

Residents who were waiting to book a COVID-19 vaccine appointment can schedule it now. Numerous appointments are available between today and July 20 for residents needing their first dose or accelerated second dose at community clinics.

Additionally, the City added over 39,000 appointments today between July 21 and 30, 2021 at community clinics across the city. Additional appointments will be added if needed.

If you have a second dose appointment booked in the fall, now is the time to reschedule it for an earlier date. As more people get fully vaccinated sooner, Ottawa gets closer to community immunity and we can think about a return to normal activities.

To book a first or reschedule your second dose appointment, visit Ontario.ca/bookvaccine(link is external) to access the provincial booking system or call the provincial vaccine booking line at 1-833-943-3900 between 8 am and 8 pm, seven days a week. You may also be eligible for vaccination at a local pharmacy(link is external), at a pop-up clinic(link is external), or at the Bruyère vaccine clinic(link is external).

You can also register daily on the vaccine wait-list tool(link is external) to book last-minute, same-day COVID-19 vaccinations at City of Ottawa community clinics for unclaimed doses. These appointments can open up at any time during the day and registered residents will be contacted by Ottawa Public Health by text, email or phone as they become available.
