Two year-old Arianna Benjamin screams as her mother Dian holds her as she gets her H1N1 flu shot on Oct. 29. (Nathan Denette/Canadian Press)Toronto Public Health is planning to close two of its 10 swine flu vaccination clinics by the end of Sunday.
The two clinics slated to close are those at the Masaryk-Cowan Community Recreation Centre in Parkdale and the Melody Public School near Wilson and Weston roads.
Both clinics have seen a drop in attendance, said Dr. Barbara Yaffe, director of communicable disease control for Toronto Public Health.
Toronto's eight other clinics offering vaccinations against the H1N1 influenza A virus that causes swine flu will remain open until mid-December.
The vaccine continues to be available at many doctors' offices, clinics and community health centres.
