About COVID-19 Vaccination in Ottawa Long-Term Care and Retirement Homes
As part of Phase One of Ontario’s COVID-19 Vaccination Program, the Ottawa Hospital (TOH) will be participating in the COVID-19 vaccine readiness program in collaboration with the Public Health Agency of Canada and Pfizer- BioNTech. Long-term care and retirement homes have been selected to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.

Staff Information
The Ottawa Hospital COVID-19 vaccination clinic is working closely with the Ministry of Health to receive additional shipments of the COVID-19 vaccine. The clinic is expected to provide vaccinations until Saturday, January 16, 2021. After Saturday, the clinic is expected to be paused and resume operations towards the end of next week. The remaining vaccine doses available will be provided to LTC residents as a priority, and individuals requiring second doses to ensure they receive their vaccine within the 21 to 28 days period, as per Pfizer requirements. This will mean that some appointments already pre-booked will have to be rescheduled, and those individuals will be contacted with a new appointment time to ensure they receive their second dose within the timeframe outlined
