The Hamilton healthcare partners continue to make progress in vaccinating members of the community. We are pleased to announce that to date, we have administered approximately 205,574 doses of COVD-19 vaccine – with 38.2% of Hamiltonians over the age of 16 receiving a vaccine to date.
Effective immediately, the Hamilton Primary Care AstraZeneca vaccination clinic includes a walk-in option from May 6th to 9th. The Hamilton Primary Care Partners (Hamilton Family Health Team, McMaster Family Health Team, Hamilton Family Medicine and Community Health Centre partners) in partnership with Hamilton Public Health Services will be holding clinics to administer AstraZeneca vaccines to adults ages 40 years or older (in 2021).
