Some eligible Hamilton residents will soon be able to get their COVID-19 vaccine at a selection of local pharmacies.
The Ontario government announces that a total of 21 pharmacies in the Hamilton area will be provided doses of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine and administering them to eligible residents aged 55 and over.
The pharmacy rollout began officially on April 1st, with eligible Hamiltonians able to book an appointment online via the province’s booking portal. No walk-in vaccinations will be made available at this time.

Numerous Shoppers Drug Mart locations will offer the vaccine as well including 133 King Street West in Dundas, 255 Dundas Street East in Waterdown, 1300 Garth Street, 47 Wilson Street West in Ancaster, 75 Centennial Parkway North, and 2110 Rymal Road East.
