West 5th Vaccination Clinic Closing September 3
St. Joe’s is closing its West 5th COVID-19 Vaccination Clinic on September 3. The last day of vaccine delivery will be September 2.
The decision to extend the West 5th COVID-19 Vaccination Clinic beyond its initial closing date was made in partnership with Hamilton Public Health Services to accommodate patients coming into the clinic to receive their vaccination. We administered 647 doses since August 17, including 322 first doses of the vaccine.
The continued wind-down of vaccination clinics reflects the significant progress made towards vaccinating the community. As demand for large volume of vaccination tapers off, large-scale mass vaccination clinics will soon no longer be required.
The planned closure of large-scale COVID-19 vaccination clinics is as follows:
- Hamilton Health Sciences COVID-19 Vaccine Clinic (293 Wellington St. N) closed August 3, 2021.
- FirstOntario Centre COVID-19 Vaccine clinic (101 York Blvd.) will discontinue administering COVID-19 vaccines as of August 29, 2021.
- Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton West 5th COVID-19 Vaccine Clinic (100 West 5th St.) will discontinue administering COVID-19 vaccines as of September 3, 2021.
The COVID-19 vaccine will continue to be available at two primary care-led clinics (David Braley Health Sciences Centre and Winterberry Family Medicine), as well as in pharmacies and targeted mobile pop-up clinics across the city.
We want to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved in the West 5th Vaccination Clinic. This has truly been a collaborative effort across the city with our HHS and Hamilton Public Health Services partners. St. Joe’s played a leadership role in mass vaccination clinics, showcasing collaboration and leadership within our organization. To date, St. Joe’s has administered more than 157,000 doses of the 765,484 doses delivered in Hamilton – a significant accomplishment for the incredible West 5th team. A huge thank-you to everyone involved.
St. Joe’s will continue to work with our community partners to monitor and adjust services based on community need.
