Community Update #43 - UPDATE: Moderna at Keele Campus Vaccine Pop-up Clinic

Due to unanticipated delays in the shipment of Pfizer BioNTech, the Keele Campus pop-up vaccine clinic will only be offering the Moderna vaccine on Tuesday, June 22 and Wednesday, 23. This changes the age eligibility below, as the Pfizer mRNA vaccine is the only vaccine currently approved for use in Canada for those under 18 years of age. 

Both Pfizer and Moderna brands are highly effective mRNA vaccines and considered interchangeable by the National Advisory Committee on Immunization. All York community members who are eligible are welcome this week.
