The Pfizer vaccine will be offered at these clinics for first and second doses; pop-up clinics are walk-in and appointments are not required, according to York Region spokesperson Patrick Casey.

York Region is also offering longer-term community hub clinics to ensure individuals requiring a vaccine continue to have access, however, the details are being finalized, he added.

This clinic will be offering both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines for first and second dose appointments at york.ca/COVID19Vaccine.

The drive-thru mass vaccination clinic at SoccerCity in Whitchurch-Stouffville closed at today, Casey said, adding, "We extend our collective thanks to Mayor Lovatt, the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville and the clinic management team for their efforts in operating this successful clinic."
