TORONTO A pilot program to bring COVID-19 vaccines directly to Toronto seniors living independently was underway Wednesday, with a mobile immunization clinic set up inside a St. Clair West apartment building. 108 residents of St. Matthew’s Bracondale House, a privately-owned, non-profit seniors’ building, were given the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine as part of a test-run operated by East Toronto Health Partners, Mid-West Toronto Ontario Health Team and North York Toronto Health Partners in conjunction with community organizations. The goal: to deliver the vaccine efficiently to residents in the comfort of their own homes, in just two or three hours.
