Region of Waterloo launches drive-thru vaccination clinic at Bingemans on Sunday

Waterloo Region – Local residents have another opportunity to get their first or second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine at the Region’s first drive-thru vaccination clinic. Through a partnership with Bingemans, a youth-friendly drive-thru clinic will take place this weekend in Kitchener on July 4. The drive-thru clinic will be administering the Pfizer vaccine to anyone 12 years of age and older.

“We are very excited to provide another way to get the vaccine at a drive-thru clinic,” said Shirley Hilton, Deputy Chief of Police and head of the Waterloo Region Vaccine Distribution Task Force. “Thank you to Bingemans for partnering with us to make this happen and to provide another choice for people who want to get the vaccine.”

The drive-thru vaccination clinic is taking place at Bingemans, 425 Bingemans Centre Drive in Kitchener on Sunday, July 4 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Appointments are required. To book an appointment, please visit the Region of Waterloo website: Book a vaccine

“Our team is excited to support the Region in helping expedite the vaccine distribution initiative to all our residents,” said Mark Bingeman, President of Bingemans. “More opportunities like this not only protects the health of everyone but clearly supports all our Region’s businesses to allow more and faster reopening of their operations.”

As people will remain in their vehicles for the entire immunization process, this drive-thru vaccination clinic at Bingemans may be a more convenient option for some individuals with mobility issues.

Many community partners are working together to get vaccines into arms as quickly as possible. In addition to public vaccination clinics, residents can also get their vaccine at one of 123 pharmacies in the region as well as many family practices.
