Halton Region
A GO-VAXX mobile COVID-19 vaccine clinic, operated by the province of Ontario, will be stationed in rotating locations across Oakville for the next nine days in an effort to boost vaccination rates in town.
Halton Regional Health has arranged for the bus to spend over a week at several locations in Oakville providing first and second doses of Pfizer vaccine to anyone born in 2009 or earlier. (Third doses/boosters will also be available to those who are eligible. Learn more here about who is currently eligible for a third dose.)
No advance appointment is needed to use the GO-VAXX bus services. Walk-in appointments are available on a first come, first-served basis, and are dependent on supply.

Halton Region also lists "a few key reminders" about this service:
- While Health Canada HAS now approved the Pfizer vaccine for children, this bus will only take anyone age 12 and up
- The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are interchangeable, safe and effective in preventing severe illness and complications from COVID-19.
- Halton Region Public Health cannot provide additional doses of COVID-19 vaccine for travel purposes.
While GO-VAXX bus appointments do not need an advance appointment, regularly scheduled and booked appointments through Halton Region do need to be booked online or by phone in advance.
For months, Oakville has had (and still has) the lowest vaccination rate among all Halton municipalities. Both Regional Health and the Town hope this easy-to-understand and easy-to-use program will encourage those who still haven't been vaccinated to now do so.
