@the5thColumnist Odd that they've left out the 'burbs. I'm closer to downtown, and there are lots of choices for #OPH clinics around here.

Well there ore only two city wide listed on the OPH website that offer COVID vaccinations.
@the5thColumnist Part of the issue was that priority was given to those needing childhood routine vaccinations, or those with no #OHIP card. Also, apparently, the nurses (there were two) needed to take a detailed history from some of their patients if they hadn't been seen before.
The only reference to walk ins was "those without an appointment will not be vaccinated.
@the5thColumnist That must be just for those two clinics taking appointments - the Emerald Plaza clinic was strictly walk in.
The #OPH web site is rather confusing - it first tries to lead you to the Book a Reservation page but further down there's a link to the Neighbourhood Health and Wellness page which lists the clinics giving vaccines.

@gemelliz @the5thColumnist Yes, much the same in #Ottawa it seems. The clinic we were at is a general vaccination clinic, for "residents who face barriers to access on a drop-in basis". They offer #COVID19 and #flu vaccinations but as we're long time residents with an #ohip card and family doctor, we're low priority. @fordnation clearly believes #CovidIsOver so he can go back to pandering to his auto- and beer-loving base.
Off to the pharmacy for our booster, I guess.
@SheamusPatt @gemelliz @fordnation
The funding will go to private sector pharmacies instead, it seems
