Back to SearchOttawa — CHEO and The Ottawa Hospital (TOH) are pleased that the provincial government announced that third doses of the COVID-19 vaccine will be available for health-care workers who meet the eligibility requirements set by the province.
Evidence shows that vaccines are safe and effective at reducing the risk of serious illness, hospitalization and death due to COVID-19.
Together, CHEO and The Ottawa Hospital, will open a COVID-19 vaccine clinic to provide vaccinations for:
- all health-care workers, including staff, medical staff, researchers, learners and volunteers working at CHEO and TOH
- family members of CHEO and TOH staff and medical staff who are eligible for third doses, including:
- those aged 70+ years old
- immunocompromised individuals (as defined by the province of Ontario)
The clinic will open in the coming days and be located at Roger Guindon Hall at the General Campus. We will continue working with staff and medical staff to ensure they have all the information they need.
