Monkeypox Vaccine Clinic

Book Your Monkeypox vaccine

The monkeypox vaccination service, provided by Toronto Public Health nurses in collaboration with ACAS, is on Friday, October 28th 3:00 pm-6:30 pm at 260 Spadina Ave, Unit 410. This is open eligibility for gay, bisexual, queer men who have sex with men, including trans men and trans women.

Please use this link acas.setmore.com and choose any of the staff names for appointment time. Last appointment will be at 6:15pm

Please consider that we are a community-based organization that has small capacity. If it suits you better, there are multiple mass immunization clinics run by the City of Toronto that can handle larger numbers through walk-in. You can find the mass clinics at
