Pop up clinics for post-secondary students

Students and staff of any adult high school, college or university, including their friends and family aged 12 and over are welcome to attend this clinic for first or second doses of the COVID-19 vaccine.

• Aug. 3 to Sept. 6 – 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
  University of Ottawa, Minto Sports Complex – 810 King Edward Ave.

“International students (along with their friends and family) are encouraged to attend the clinic as well,” staff said. “There will be a nurse on site to help international students determine if/what vaccination they require.”

This clinic is a drop-in clinic – no appointment needed. Please visit OttawaPublicHealth.ca/CollegeUniVaccine for more information.

Second doses

A second dose can be received at least 28 days after receiving an mRNA vaccine (Moderna or Pfizer), and at least eight weeks after receiving an AstraZeneca vaccine.

“Residents may receive a different second dose mRNA (Moderna or Pfizer) vaccine than their first dose at community clinics,” staff said. “Interchanging vaccines is safe and effective. The priority is to receive two doses of a vaccine to complete the series and be fully protected.”

Same-day appointments can only be made in-person no earlier than two hours before the clinic opens, on a first come first served basis, while supply lasts. If there is a waiting period, residents may receive an appointment card with a time to return to the clinic for their vaccine. 

Thanks to the Ottawa Health Team, Kids Come First Health Team and other local partners in the community for their support.
