You’ll be seeing more Provincial GO-VAXX Bus clinics over the next month or so in Hamilton; especially if you live in an area with a low rate of vaccinated individuals.
“With back-to-school around the corner, and a return to more indoor settings in the Fall, it’s vital that Hamilton’s vaccination coverage continues to increase and that all Hamiltonians follow public health measures to reduce the spread of the virus,” said a spokesperson on behalf of the Hamilton health care partners.
L8L and L8H area codes
The north end of Hamilton where area codes begin with L8L and L8H has the lowest vaccination rates with only 48 per cent receiving both doses. 59 per cent have received at least one.
The area also represents the population with the lowest income, according to City of Hamilton data.

To date, 786,344 doses of COVD-19 vaccine have been administered, with 80.1 per cent of eligible Hamiltonians receiving a vaccine and 72.8 per cent being fully vaccinated.
