zanzibar tavern, which first opened in downtown toronto in 1959, has a storied past and remains one of the last holdouts on yonge street from a time when the area was synonymous with the flash of neon lights and wild times.
the adult entertainment nightclub will transform into a no-surveillance vaccine clinic offering the covid-19 shot to marginalized communities and sex workers on june 4. it’s the brainchild of maggie’s toronto sex workers action project, in partnership with unity health and sherbourne health. now magazine
reports
the location offers first-doses of the pfizer vaccine without requiring ohip, identification or an address from patients. it’s maggie’s third low-barrier vaccine clinic.
one of the club’s owners, natalie cooper, told the cbc
she’s pleased
to have zanzibar host the clinic.”a lot of people in this industry have been unfairly blamed for spreading illness for a long time and we just wanted to make it very clear that we feel very strongly about stopping the spread of covid.”
disneyland
disneyland became the “happiest place on earth” for californians eager to receive the covid-19 vaccine. from mid-january to late april, health officials
were able
to give more than 200,000 shots at the resort. in its last month of operation, health officials at the “super pod” or point-of-dispensing site solely administered second doses of the vaccine. the vaccines were administered in the disneyland parking lot and shifted to in-car vaccinations only in march.
