TBDHU is working with district partners, including Family Health Teams (FHT), Community Health Centres (CHC) and First Nation partners, who are responsible for administering the vaccines to all community members.
If you are a member of a First Nation community in the Thunder Bay District, please check with your community’s leadership or health care centre for vaccination opportunities.

Individuals needing accommodations, please contact your local Branch office to discuss.
Clients over the age of 5 who are eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine and would benefit from a calmer and quieter clinic setting are able to make arrangements with their local branch office to receive their vaccine outside of a community clinic. This is suitable for clients who may experience severe needle anxiety/phobia (not limited to), and/or who may require an appointment longer in duration.
Accommodations can be made for individuals who are homebound. If you are homebound and requiring any COVID-19 vaccine dose, please call your local TBDHU Branch office to arrange a home visit for vaccination.
Please contact the health care provider in your community directly to learn more about any upcoming clinic dates, eligibility and to book an appointment.
