Michael Garron Hospital (MGH) and East Toronto Health Partners (ETHP) are offering first dose, second dose and third (booster) dose appointments for the COVID-19 vaccine to individuals aged 12 and older and fourth (booster) dose and fifth (booster) dose appointments for select individuals.
If no appointments are available, we encourage you to check back regularly as more appointments are added. If you are eligible for your first dose, second dose, third (booster) dose, fourth (booster) dose or fifth (booster) dose, you can also walk in to one of our mobile and pop-up vaccine clinics in East Toronto. Please read the eligibility carefully for these sites.
This page is for booking first dose, second dose and third (booster) dose appointments for individuals aged 12 and older and fourth and fifth (booster) dose appointments for select individuals aged 12 and older. To book an appointment for a child aged 5 to 11, click here.

The recommend interval between second and third (booster) doses for youth aged 12-17 is 168 days. However, youth aged 12-17 can get their third (booster) dose with informed consent if they received their second dose more than 84 days ago.
If you are aged 12-17 and would like to receive your third dose after 84 days, please call the provincial booking line at 1-833-943-3900. You cannot book a third (booster) dose appointment on the provincial booking system online for a youth aged 12-17 using the 84-day interval.
Youth aged 12-17 can also receive their third (booster) dose after 84 days with informed consent by walk-in at our mobile and pop-up clinics where vaccines for this age group are available.

Please bring a referral letter from your physician, or their authorizing organization, with the following information: contact information for physician, specialist, medical practice or health organization of authorized individual completing the letter; patient’s name, health card number and address; confirmation that the patient is eligible for their fifth dose; and any patient-specific concerns, including treatment considerations and how that may affect vaccine administration.
Due to vaccine supply and availability, Moderna will likely be administered during your vaccine appointment with MGH/ETHP if you are aged 30 or older. Pfizer will be administered for children aged 5 to 11.
The Moderna vaccine is as safe and effective as the Pfizer vaccine. In addition, it is safe and effective to mix vaccine brands, especially for your booster doses. Both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccine will provide you maximum protection against COVID-19, including the highly transmissible Omicron variant. We strongly encourage you to accept the first vaccine brand available to you, regardless of the vaccine brand(s) you received for previous dose(s).
If you feel sick or have COVID-19 symptoms, please do not visit our COVID-19 vaccine clinics, even if you have booked an appointment in advance. You should self-isolate or self-monitor according to guidance from the Ontario government. If you have COVID-19 and are vaccinated while infected, the vaccine may not be as effective.
You can also call the provincial booking system at 1-833-943-3900 or book an appointment at a participating pharmacy. COVID-19 vaccines are also available at our mobile and pop-up vaccine clinics. Please read the eligibility carefully for these sites.
