Hamilton’s COVID-19 vaccine efforts continue to progress as supply remains steady and the number of individuals who are eligible continues to expand.

As of Wednesday (June 30), nearly 540,000 doses of vaccine have been administered by the city’s health care partners.

73.6 per cent of adults in Hamilton have received at least one dose with 35.3 per cent being fully vaccinated. Meanwhile, 58.3 per cent of youth (12-17) have received their first dose.

Beginning Thursday (July 1), youth who have not yet received their first dose can attend the mobile clinic located at Bernie Morelli Recreation Centre on Cannon St. East. The clinic will be open from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

To date, 106 local pharmacies are administering Moderna and Pfizer vaccines to everyone over the age of 12.
