Vaccination clinics for COVID-19

This page will be updated frequently as new information becomes available.

Public Health offers a number of clinics throughout the Sudbury and Manitoulin districts. In addition to Public Health-led clinics, select pharmacy locations and primary care providers also offer vaccination against COVID-19. Check with your local pharmacy or health care provider for more information.

Visit our COVID-19 page for information on symptoms, self-isolation, and where to get tested for COVID-19. Visit our Current status page for information on vaccination data for our area.

Please note that Public Health may occasionally need to cancel clinics due to unforeseen circumstances, including inclement weather events that impact clinic operations. In the event a clinic is cancelled, all clients with a booked appointment will be offered an alternate opportunity. Where feasible, some cancelled clinics will be rescheduled. For regular updates, follow us on social media @PublicHealthSD (Facebook, Twitter).

Get vaccinated and stay up to date

It is important you stay up-to-date with your COVID-19 vaccines to help build long-term protection against COVID-19. In Ontario, for those 6 months to 4 years of age, staying up-to-date means you have completed the initial dose(s) of a COVID-19 vaccine. For those 5 years of age and older, it means completion of a primary series and receipt of a booster (monovalent or bivalent) on or after September 1, 2022. For specific high-risk populations, staying up-to-date means completion of the primary series and receipt of a booster dose within the last 6 months.

The Ontario Ministry of Health continues to recommend that COVID-19 vaccines should be offered to individuals with previous COVID-19 infections. Before proceeding with vaccination after a COVID-19 infection, you should no longer be considered infectious, symptoms of acute illness should be completely resolved, and your isolation period must be completed.

A longer interval between infection and vaccination may result in a better immune response. Individuals 6 months and older who are not considered immunocompromised, and who have not initiated or completed a primary series are recommended to wait at least 2 months (56 days) before receiving a vaccine. For those that are currently eligible to receive a booster dose, the recommended interval between infection and vaccination is 6 months (168 days) being recommended after symptom onset or positive test (if asymptomatic).

Getting your booster dose(s) gives you better protection against severe COVID-19 illness, hospitalization, and death. It’s not too late to get a first dose and additional doses if you haven’t already.

The vaccines are a safe and effective way to protect yourself, your loved ones, and the community from COVID-19.

Learn more about who is currently eligible for vaccination and when to get your COVID-19 booster dose(s).

Vaccine-to-vehicle service [expand]

Vaccine-to-vehicle is a service available at select mass immunization clinics. This service is available for individuals who are unable to receive their vaccine within a clinic setting for reasons such as sensory sensitivities, decreased mobility, or other health concerns.

How it works: An immunizer will come outside to the parking lot to provide the vaccine to individuals in their vehicle.

How to book: Appointments can only be booked by phone through the local call centre at 705.522.9200 (toll-free: 1.866.522.9200). The call centre is open Monday to Friday between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. and is closed on statutory holidays. Booking online is not available

Please note that your appointment may be rebooked due to extreme weather events, extreme cold, or when it is too dark due to diminished sunlight to immunize the client safely. This is to ensure everyone’s safety.

Sensory-friendly service [expand]

Sensory-friendly is a service for individuals who require accommodations for sensory sensitivities during immunization.

How it works: Sensory-friendly services may include a private immunization station at one of our mass clinics where lights can be dimmed, noise kept to a minimum, and extra time allotted for the appointment. Alternatively, vaccine-to-vehicle service can be provided within a vehicle at the parking lot of a mass clinic as an alternative for those requiring sensory accommodations.
