To help keep the community safe and combat the spread of these respiratory viruses, York University is offering vaccination clinics throughout the winter season at both its Keele and Glendon campuses. Flu and COVID-19 vaccinations will be available at the following four clinics during the month of February.
Glendon Campus clinics
- Tuesday, Feb. 13, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Centre of Excellence lobby.
- Tuesday, Feb. 27, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Centre of Excellence lobby.
Keele Campus clinics
- Wednesday, Feb. 14, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Central Square, Bear Pit.
- Wednesday, Feb. 28, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Central Square, Bear Pit.
OHIP is not required at these clinics and vaccines are free of charge. The clinics are walk-in; first come, first served. Free masks and rapid antigen test kits are also available while supplies last. And for those who are curious, yes, it is safe to get both the COVID-19 and influenza vaccines at the same time.
Anyone with new symptoms of illness, or who has recently tested positive for COVID-19, is encouraged to complete the Ontario Ministry of Health’s self-assessment tool for further direction and guidance before visiting a vaccination clinic.
For those with questions regarding respiratory virus protocols, students can contact SCHW@yuoffice.yorku.ca and employees can contact SFCCM@yorku.ca. The hours of operation for these resources are Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
