City of Ottawa - Escapade Music Festival to host vaccination clinic this Saturday!

 

If you’ve been missing summer music festival vibes, we’ve got good news for you.

To help make sure you can safely attend parties, music festivals and other events this summer and fall, the City and Ottawa Public Health are working with Escapade Music Festival to hold a COVID-19 vaccine pop-up clinic at RCGT Park (Ottawa Baseball Stadium), 300 Coventry Road. The clinic will be held inside the stadium on Saturday, July 24 from 10 am to 8 pm. Free parking is available, and the clinic is within walking distance from Tremblay LRT Station.

Escapade Music Festival has announced that only fully vaccinated residents will be able to attend its festival, planned to occur this September. There is still time to get your two doses before the beat drops this fall! You can snag a virtual ticket online at escapademf.com/vaccination to ensure your spot. Limited drop-ins will also be available while supplies last.

Can’t make it to the clinic on July 24? We’ve got you covered. Other easy ways you can get vaccinated include:

• You can drop-in to select community clinics in Ottawa between 10 am and 7 pm daily to receive a first or second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine without an appointment. Check OttawaPublicHealth.ca or the City of Ottawa’s Facebook, Twitter or Instagram daily to see where there are spots available.
• Book an appointment through the provincial booking system. There are many appointments available across the City this week.
• If you live in a priority neighbourhood, you can visit a pop-up clinic nearby for your first or second dose. Visit OttawaPublicHealth.ca/COVID19vaccine for the latest.
