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.
